Sign of the Time
The Red Sox are removing the Coke bottles from left field and will instead have Coke sponsor a seating section:
Fenway will now have a "Coca-Cola Corner" which will boast 412 new seats (total capacity for night games now 38,888) under a scrolling, red-LED lighted Coca-Cola sign "reminiscent of a sign that stood along Storrow Drive for more than 40 years."
It sounds like it will be similar to the rooftop area sponsored by Budweiser.
The Coke sign mentioned about used to be visible from our dining hall in Mather House at Harvard. I was one of the few people who woke up for breakfast, and since I never wore a watch, would sit so I could see the clock on the top of the sign.
My roommate, David Aceto was having breakfast with me one morning when I said, "It's 8:30, time to leave for class." David wanted to know how I knew what time it was, and I told him I read it off the sign. Aceto's eyes weren't as good as mine, but he did not believe I could read the sign from there. Oh for the days of 20-20 vision!
The Baseball Musings pledge drive continues through March. Please consider making a donation.
