If it weren't the Library of Congress's photostream I would have accused this of being a photoshop

Huh...
Ya know – before I knew about Gameday, I knew about this. I always figured Gameday took its inspiration from that. I remember seeing it on the Ken Burns video series…

My granddad used to describe something like this in the window of the local drugstore.
Most likely not as elaborate, and hand operated. They would use the telegraph for updates, this must have been in the early ’20’s the way he told the story. They did something for major horse races and Lindbergh’s flight as well. What a terrific photograph.

There's a picture floating around somewhere
of the big board they used to have outside the old Seattle Times building that would update the Northwest League games.
