The photo you see above is not Photoshopped, nor fake.
There really was a ski-jumping competition at Wrigley Field on two different winter weekends.
What’s more interesting, I think, is the odd color scheme of the scoreboard. It almost looks like an old photo negative, doesn’t it?
What you are looking at is an image of the scoreboard while it was painted a very light blue. It’s a shame that no one had a camera that could take a color image of this board while it existed.
So we have two sleuthing mysteries here:
- When was the board painted this very odd color, and why?
