Here's what it's like to run the Fenway South hand-operated scoreboard

One of the most famous features of Fenway Park is its vintage hand-operated scoreboard at the foot of the Green Monster in left field. And so, when the Red Sox set about building a new Spring Training ground for their Fenway South complex in Fort Myers, Fla., they knew they wanted to replicate that feature as well.

So, the team did something a bit unorthodox: They dug up the old Fenway Park scoreboard that was in use for three decades from the mid-1970s until the early 2000s, and brought it south to JetBlue Park.

The normal Sox scoreboard crew doesn't travel south for the winter, but the staff that operates the Spring Training version of the board still gets some spiffy digs:

Unfortunately, this guy only comes in large:
