Appearance
The Play Cell
Each play cell represents one batter's plate appearance in one inning. It's the fundamental unit of the scorecard.
Examples
These are rendered using the actual rendering engine from the live site. Same code, same colors, same stroke widths. If the rendering changes, these examples change.
Hits
Scored Runners
When a runner scores, the diamond is filled with 3 diagonal hatch lines (not a solid color). Home runs get a solid black diamond instead.
