A modest proposal for Wrigley Field’s landmark scoreboard

Hey, it’s an early offseason for the Cubs and so, time to think and talk about everything related to our favorite team.

If this looks familiar, it should, because I wrote about this topic here five years ago. At the time the Wrigley renovations hadn’t yet begun, and now they are nearly complete, with video boards making the landmark center-field scoreboard something of an afterthought. The center-field board still counts balls and strikes, indicates hits and errors on plays, and is the only place in Wrigley Field you can get out-of-town scores.

The latter, out-of-town scores, is my purpose here.
