It gives you a much deeper appreciation of your table crew.
It also impresses upon you how important it is to give clear and crisp signals to the table.

I've sneaked a peek at the book when I've gone to my alma mater's D1 games. I gotta give the scorer credit--that's a ton of stuff to keep track of.
Most baseball umpires, unfortunately, do not even read the scoring rule in the back of the rulebook and could care less how to keep score.
(But I have--I keep score for fun at the pro games I go to.)
