Keeping the book: Dodgers fans keep art of scorekeeping alive

Before she heads to Dodger Stadium, Holly Proulx goes through her equipment checklist. There’s the scoring book. A pencil — with 0.9 thickness lead. Two erasers. Headphones and radio.

Oh, and Billy Proulx, her husband.

“First time we both went to a Dodger game in 1980, we both kept score,” he said. “After awhile, I figured there was no reason for both of us to do it, so I became her spotter.”

That means he has the binoculars slung around his neck while she make notes about the game started.

She’s a former schoolteacher and now teaches martial arts in Claremont.
