Overanalyzing the 1964 Shea Stadium scoreboard

Another winner from Mike


I was curious what the scoreboard said


And I only remember the Mets’ lineup and the National scores being on the right side. Not so in the beginning…


And why the clarification that the Mets were from N.Y.? Where else would they play, Mercury?

Final observation – advertising on the Shea scoreboard in 1964 would not help your brand make it to 2000.

  1. For a long time, the Shea scoreboard identified the out-of-town pitchers using numbers that could only be found in the scorecard instead of their uniform numbers. That’s why LA has a “2” and MIL has a “11” under “P” for pitcher.
