Comments on: No More Scouting Notebooks? http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2006/01/17/no-more-scouting-notebooks/ because technology is just another ecosystem Sun, 07 Sep 2008 12:53:25 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: William Galloway http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2006/01/17/no-more-scouting-notebooks/#comment-1498 William Galloway Wed, 08 Feb 2006 14:55:57 +0000 http://redmonk.com/sogrady/wp/?p=699#comment-1498 Stats Inc., of course, was purchased several years ago (partnership??) by the Sporting News, which ran the Scouting Notebook for a few more years, but appears to have now discontinued it, substituting instead with the Baseball Register combined with a scouting report on each major league player. Unfortunately, the scouting report is a mere shadow of the old reports we received in the annual Scouting Notebook. The Sporting News does not care about traditions or quality, unlike the Spink family decades ago, and so dies another great baseball book.
