Behind the scoreboard at Fenway
Fenway Park has one of the last remaining manual scoreboards in the Major Leagues. Christian Elias (left) has been the Red Sox scorekeeper for 17 years. Nate Moulter has assisted as a scorekeeper for two years.
If you look closely inside the left field scoreboard, you can see the signatures of the players who have played on the team throughout history. Look even closer and you will spy the initials TAY and JRY -- for Tom Yawkey and Jean Yawkey -- which appear in Morse code in two vertical strips on the scoreboard.
