The scoreboard at Crosley field

 From Old-time baseball photos. Check out this gem of a scoreboard at Crosley field. Took 5 people to operate it. Massive eh!? The left fielder is Pete Rose. This photo was taken July 30, 1967. Note the slope in front of it. It was nicknamed "the terrace" and took place instead of a warning track. In 1970, the Reds moved to Riverfront Stadium and April 19, 1972 the scoreboard, along with Crosley field was demolished. Check the scoreboard out.

Both games on Saturday.
