Asleep at the Switch

So far this season, I've seen the Citi Field scoreboard assign Lucas Duda's season stats to Ike Davis (perhaps out of pity), credit Lucas Duda with two walkoff home runs hit by Ike Davis, place Tom Seaver's 100th career win, secured at Shea in 1972, in Los Angeles and, last night, celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 400th home run belted by Duke "Snyder".

I've always noticed this stuff (perhaps it's the nosy 'how does it work' computer programmer in me) going back years and years. I suspect scoreboard operations are run by hamster wheels. I'm always amused by it. I remember one game the out of town scoreboard was wonky, all game ,from when BP was still going on right to the end of the game. Teams were duplicated. The Tigers were playing the Mariners at home AND the Yankees in NY. The Yankees were playing 4 home games. Crazy stuff like that.

A tour of Fenway Park used to incude a trip inside the scoreboard in the left field wall. The numbers were printed on cardboard and replaced manually as the score changed. No hamsters those operators.
