League Scoreboard

Recently I saw an 11 - year - old nephew playing basketball in the local league. When I saw the newly polished stadium, paid referee, lighting scoreboard, and live buzzer scene, I had no choice but to think how much his nephew and his team grew up. They are taught there independently, chat with the referee, and have tips and tricks. Until something happens, this is out of sync. As there were several children throughout the game, one of the children was crouchingly bent. A seemingly injured boy stopped the game, both hands covered his face, perhaps it was tears, probably not so. Suddenly a crazy mother rushed out of the court from the stand and wore a sweater and Gatorade. She turned to a pleasantly shocked parent and pushed her son on both arms with a magnificent gesture. At this point, the boy was shocked by surprise.

As part of the renovation, the manual scoreboard was built on the center field stand. Flying over the scoreboard is a colorful banner for each national league team, rankings for that day are shown from top to bottom. Another long-lasting scoreboard tradition of Wrigley is to win the white flag for the Cubs, the blue 'W' or the white 'L' blue flag. Flags can be seen by nearby residents walking along Sheffield or Waveland Avenue, or by passengers passing by a nearby elevated train. The crossbar is attached to the top of the scoreboard. There is a green light on one end, a red light on the other end, and a red light on the other end. This is to make the train driver pass night time. The back side of the scoreboard can be seen from the outside of the entrance to the outdoor stand and it is symbolic. In the word "Chicago Cubs", a white block is engraved on the image with the blue flag set.
