Frank, thanks, I am now looking at autographs of a batter who swung twice and hit a ground ball that bounced four times to the shortstop who threw the autograph person out at first. So far maybe Sergio Santos or Will Myers
or even a very early Manny Machado, wow!!!

Hieroglyphics preceded and was largely supplanted by sabermetrics in baseball score keeping, but it is making a comeback in the current chicken scratch autograph world.

Hope this helps.
