Keeping Score

Jesse Reklaw’s Keeping Score is a single-issue comic from Fantagraphics (2019–present) that distills a lifetime of baseball fandom into a spare, poetic meditation. Through Reklaw’s clean, expressive linework, the comic captures the quiet rituals and emotional weight of following the game, from childhood memories to adult reflections. It’s a small, personal work that matters for how it uses the comics form to explore memory, obsession, and the strange beauty of sports statistics.
