Man, I can’t believe we got destroyed by the Expos. This team is a joke. Here we go again. Gil must go! Down 11-6 this game isn’t even close. I can’t believe Seaver only went 5. At least we have a new ballpark not like the Yankees.
Thanks to Mike for sending over. Click on the pic for a larger version.
Note the out of town scoreboard. By 69 the NL has moved to the right side. In earlier pics the NL is on the left.
Also note the pitchers are represented by scorecard number not uniform number. You’d look up in your scorecard to see who pitcher #6 for Boston is. The Cubs were still doing this in 2010. I think the Dodgers did when I was there in 1998.
On the scoreboard is an ad for 10 minute head. That makes me giggle for various reasons we won’t get into. Was foamy beer a selling point? Is my 2011 beer not foamy enough?
Ah…the old scoreboard!
I remember the projection screen was supposed to show videos and slides. I remember it being used to show pictures of the batters. Don’t recall it being used that much….never to the extent of what they said it would be.
hello frank.
the images were very difficult to see during day games.
i do remember looking at a commerical on the screen when i was a kid
This was back in the days of bad beer, and very few options. So they advertised and promoted some of the most inane things.
Not that they don’t do so today of course, but there are tons of real options out there.
I could probably go on for days with this sort of rant, and keep in mind I think Citi Field may be the BEST beer ballpark in the majors.
it did make me giggle though.
i liked the “either you have it or you don’t” and “Natural reingold ” slogans the best.
Does the RC cola ad want me to “Meet the comer”? 10 Minute Head? Meet The Comer? Thank heavens they tore down this den of iniquities.
Rheingold!
