The art of score keeping: correctly documenting the statistics of a game remains an exacting and challenging task.
CHARLIE SCOGGINS HAS been the prima official scorer for Boston Red Sox games for 26 years, making the final call on hits and error-playing God from the press box, in the minds of ballplayer --for more than 1,300 games.
During that time he has taken more than his share of abuse, such as the time an aggrieved player threw a beer at him. Hell hath no fury like a ballplayer scored out of a base hit he feels he deserves, or charged with an error he feels he doesn't.
Jerry Remy, a retired Red Sox infielder, likes to joke to Scoggins that the scorer kept him out of the Hall of Fame by taking 1,300 hits away from him, preventing him from getting 3,000.
