When Phillies fans flock to Citizens Bank Park next month, the ballpark will look a little different.
The Phils' typical right field scoreboard that featured a mix of an old-school setup with digital numbers is being completely overhauled. It appears that it will be entirely digital going forward:
I’ve been seeing this photo floating around so I decided to combine them. The old out of town scoreboard is on the top and the new is at the bottom.

I'm a modern baseball fan (and I'm not just talking about the beloved Philly emo band). I like the DH in both leagues. The pitch clock last season made a world of a difference when it comes to how long games felt. This though? It's a bridge too far for me. Perhaps this is just me entering "young millennial screams at cloud" mode, but it feels wrong. I can't wait to see some gigantic ads for VR companies, artificial intelligence and other nonsense on it!
