Mets vs. Astros 1965

Once again, thanks to Mike.  Click for larger version.

I love this shot.   A few things jump out…

– look at the message on the scoreboard.  Those used to go up one letter at a time, 80’s video game style. If you wanted an X you had to scroll A,B,C,D…X.  There would often be tons of typos.

– I love the distribution of the crowd.  I wonder if it was a camp day?

– note that the American League scores are on the right hand side of the scoreboard.

– the Herald Tribune went out of business in 1966.  Advertising at Shea cannot save you.
