Does anyone have a PDF or some printable format of a lineup card? I really dislike the giant paper copies coaches give me and I used to receive pre-printed lineups from my chapter on cardstock. They fit perfectly in my shirt pocket and were much more manageable. Was looking online for something similar but didnt see anything.

Baseballs used to come in individual boxes. Back in the murky 1970s, I was working a doubleheader between two small, low-budgeted, high schools. At the home plate meeting, prior to game 1, the visiting coach presented his lineup on a torn open baseball box. The following conversation transpired :
V Coach : " 'Spect I'd save ma' school some money yEs:" Addressing H coach; "Ain't gut one for you ,though."
H Coach : " 'Spect I'll worry about my lineup and you about yours. OK ump?"
Me : "Ayuh, 'spect so. :o"
.....meeting prior to game 2......
V Coach : "Got ma' lineup box..Lefty's gonna' be my chucker in this one :)." Change was recorded.
H Coach : "I'll use them lineup cards 'till there gone ,then start with the ball boxes."
Me : "It's a great day, let's play two tiphat:" - Ernie Banks had already coined the phrase :)
