There’s nothing more beautiful than being at the ballpark - or watching, or listening - when there isn’t much noise. Just indistinct chatter, the occasional shout or whistle. It allows you to become completely lost in the game, or just your thoughts.
the ball/strike meter in the old Wrigley scoreboard is unique. There some sliding sound, then something like pegs come out in 3D in the shape of a number. And it is incredibly FAST, faster even than the video screens, but someone bummed me out be saying it's controlled by the guys in the press box.
Great piece. I love the traditional scoreboards.
Great read. Love the game of baseball
The whole "Make some noise" thing has gotten beyond annoying.
Agreed!!!

They might be wrong. But it is Literally instantaneous.
