[Strikeout King]

We're in a time when HD scoreboards the size of an aircraft carrier barely registers a shrug, but make a change at Wrigley Field? That's news.

It's not as if the Cubs are doing anything revolutionary, they're just doing it at Wrigley, adding an LED scoreboard in right field that will be able to display player pictures and statistics -- by computer, not by hand.

The 70-foot LED board will be built in right field in an attempt to make Wrigley's own Green Monster seats in a party deck section that groups can rent out for as many as 150 people. The area had been premier box seats.

I love Wrigley Field and enjoy watching games there as much as the next guy, but there's certainly room for moves like this to allow Cub fans to enjoy games at their park just like fans at the game's other 29 stadiums. Wrigley Field is different, but it's not a museum, it's a ballpark and ballparks evolve over time -- although some at a slower rate than others.
