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.
The whole "Make some noise" thing has gotten beyond annoying.
Agreed!!!

They might be wrong. But it is Literally instantaneous.
