Rotating advertisements behind homeplate

Post by jim »

I'm watching the Oak/Sea game, and there is a delay because the Farmers Insurance sign is stuck. It looks like it's on a roller and it's coming off, and the ballboy is trying to feed it through without luck. They can't continue the game because it's a white background. This is the second time I have seen such a delay this year.

The game is slow enough as it is, they don't need this. The money grab baseball has gotten into is ruining this game.

It really was better back when. 4 hour games with interruptions to fix the Farmers Insurance sign stuck in the roller.

I'm so mad I could spit.

Yeah. At least when the Green Monster was plastered with ads and there was a 40' neon A-B logo in the old Busch, they didn't rotate.

Though I guess the big Eagle Snacks sign next to the A-B logo rotated. With a Marlboro ad.

The game is so slow I can hardly stand it as it is, and now we have to wait 5 minutes to fix a sign.
