Baseball fans, we've finally approached the grieving end of newspaper box scores. Your thoughts?

I read that article this morning as well and I think, as short as it was, it symbolized a lot... that times are a changing. Sad yet we must find a way to move forward... or we might get lost in the midst of it all.

Strange because every now and then I read the Sunday newspaper and go to the sports section. The box scores are always there too...

I'm with people here, I like looking at box scores... I still do look at them online however.

Wow I had no idea! Are you serious?

They are going to stop producing baseball box scores for ALL newspapers?

WOW! I have read the newspaper since I was a little kid. I remember sometimes accompanying my dad to work at like 7 am and you know those newspaper box machines where you slip in like 50 cents and take a newspaper inside. Some ppl get the newspaper,but the box doesnt close shut so I always check the boxes as I walk with my dad to work. And sometimes I am able to get a free one. SO when I get lucky I would put it on the table and read all the box scores and pretend I am like Ken Korach of the A's radio braodcast telling us of the scores around baseball. I would mention who hit homers and who was the starting pitcher and who got the saves.

Wow...memories. I undestand why they would take it away because we can all just simply go online for that if we really needed it. But its been around for so long. But I guess it does help save trees?

You want to know something interesting. I'm a Met fan and that game was on my 16th birthday. Jose Reyes just turned 22 that day also. I remember that game so well. Ya, that was a really nice game. I remember the Marlon Anderson inside the park home-run very well. That was good year even though the Mets had a .500 season. It was still very exciting and was the beginning of the team people know now. For me, their was no one game that I could point to that made me a die hard fan. I became a fan of the Mets pretty much because I didn't want to be a Yankee fan when I was younger. I found the Yankees to be boring and I think I just liked the Mets cause they were the underdog in New York. Even when they were not that good, I always thought the Mets were exciting to watch, and that sort of helped me become a fan.

Before the internet, that was the only way I got the Box Scores. The sports section, TV listings and the cartoons, every day. That does bring back memories, not only of the box scores but on how things have changed over the years.

I haven't gotten the newspaper for several years now. But it was the way before the information was at your fingertips through the web.

i hate to say this but the daily newspapers has been dying a real slow death

and within the next 20 years many newspapers will be gone

and yes i still read the box scores but with the intenet you can get way more information

Las VEgas Review Journal has them every day. It is a very good local newspaper in Nevada. And if you are a fan of USA today, they always carry the boxes.

I've never read a box score in the newspaper

Bummer. I've always liked reading box scores. I wouldn't call mine an "obsession", though. I don't think I ever ran out to our mailbox to get the newspaper, but it's nice to get the stats the old-fashion way from time to time.

the internet is slowly but surely putting everything out of business. im convinced that in a few years there will no such thing as blockbuster because we can just order it online now and there are many other faster ways to do things. i mean, you can already get any newspaper online, so there is no point to it. and it makes me sad because it was kind of like the "good old days" feel to it. Times are a changing my friend

Sure, I have a bit of nostalgia for the old boxscores but not enough to want to buy newspapers for them when it's so easy to find free boxscores online. So I can understand why they are dying out.
