App comparison
Need an MLB Ballpark app alternative for your game history?
Use the MLB Ballpark app when you need official tickets, park maps, promotions, and live stadium information. Use Gamebook when you want a lasting log of MLB games you attended, with the score, seat, players, home runs, personal team records, and a ballpark passport. The two apps solve different jobs and can work together.

Choose based on the job you need done
The official MLB Ballpark app is a game-day tool. MLB describes ticket access, interactive park maps, schedules, promotions, and in-park information as its main features. Keep it when those official services matter at the gate and in your seat.
Gamebook is a personal history tool. You claim the MLB games you attended, save the seat and memory, and let each entry update your lifetime record. It does not replace an official ticket wallet or a pitch-by-pitch scorebook.

What Gamebook keeps after the final out
A Gamebook entry connects your attendance to the official matchup, score, park, box score, players, and home runs. You can add the section, row, seat, companions, photos, and a note that belongs only to your visit.
Across many games, those entries become team records, parks visited, player history, home runs witnessed, crowd totals, time spent at games, and season summaries. The value grows from the full log, not from one check-in.
When the official app remains the better choice
Use MLB Ballpark for the rotating ticket barcode, official club information, current promotions, and park services tied to that day's event. Those features come from MLB and the clubs, so a personal tracker should not pretend to replace them.
If all you need is entry to the game and a map of the concourse, adding another app may not help. Gamebook fits when you care about the record you will revisit next month or ten years from now.
How to begin without losing old visits
Start with one game whose date you know. Add it to Gamebook, then fill the seat, people, and memory. Backfill one past season at a time from ticket emails and photos instead of trying to rebuild your whole life in one sitting.
You can also download Gamebook's free MLB ballpark passport CSV if you want a simple list before opening an account. The spreadsheet and app can coexist while you decide how much detail you want.
