There are also fans who record what happens in baseball games purely for their own enjoyment.

I've been using these for about... 20 years or so.. https://www.reisnerscorekeeping.com/
I see these folks at giants games sometimes, they usually have a little mini golf pencil and a clipboard or something.
AI Commentary seems fun, especially when you can choose different personalities, biases, etc.
It’ll be a while before it can replace a true play-by-play announcer, but with seven second TV delay it’s maybe close to feasible.
The Finals is a video game with AI voiceover for its commentary, and it’s pretty engaging. I’d expect to see this in FIFA soon if it isn’t there already.
ESPN is already partly doing this with "SC For You" [1]. It gives you a personalized feed of sports clips, generated and narrated by AI that uses the voices of ESPN on-air talent.

Yeah baseball scorekeeping is an interesting part of the game.
I helped someone extract data from one of those old DOS personal-database software programs. He had recorded every scorecard from every game he went to for many years. Each year had its own floppy disk.
