Deep in Fenway Park the Boston Red Sox grounds crew maintains a hand operated scoreboard inside the Green Monster. Sonny Billings and Joe Mooney run the display from a narrow lower-deck space below ground level, a relic shared with Chicago's Wrigley Field as one of the last manually operated scoreboards in major league baseball.
The Green Monster, Fenway Park’s left field scoreboard since 1912 with major remodel in 1934, still shows inning by inning scores and out of town results. In 1976 a center field board was added, but the old board remains in use guiding Billings and a team through slots, radio feeds, and manual updates.
