Yes, depending on the level of baseball, it is important to visit the official book whenever necessary, and in some cases both dugouts' books as well.
I believe Mike is sayng that he doesn't often get to work on field's in which there are such luxury items such as scoreboards. I also understand the "compare scores" angle of which he spoke, as the umpires in some leagues (such as mine) are required to keep track of and report the scores to the league after the game.
