Another much obvious purpose of a professional baseball electronic scoreboard is to have a nice sharp image. A baseball stadium scoreboard that I remember quite vividly was from a playoff game between the Rays and Boston in ’08 at Tropicana Field. The scoreboard had graphics for things such as home runs, etc. that were used throughout the game for whatever scenario occurred. I remember that this made an enduring impression on me that I think about when I think back towards that game. Like I said, often times it is hard to see, especially if you are in the outfield, where I was sitting. The outfield in a major league baseball park is very far away from the action in the infield. Often I missed what happened and I had to rely on the scoreboard. A major league baseball park must use a professional baseball electronic scoreboard that is quite large and is capable of being seen easily.

Looking back, another enduring quality of that scoreboard at Tropicana was that it utilized video feeds in order to introduce the next Ray batter in the lineup or to replay home runs that were hit in the game and of course defensive gems fielded in the game. This left an enduring mark of the professionalism of the scoreboard at Tropicana Field. The professionalism extended to the advertising: the ads were looped in as video that displayed their message concisely. A professional baseball electronic scoreboard is multi-faceted in their ability to carry out many roles.
