Ever since the installation of the first exploding scoreboard at the old Comiskey Park in 1960, the White Sox and scoreboard technology have been synonymous.  However, it has been quite some time since the scoreboard at US Cellular Field has been updated, and, thanks to the news about the expected new board across town at Wrigley Field, we can see just how far the White Sox have fallen.

Ignoring the fact that it’s been about 15 years or so since the scoreboard at US Cellular Field actually showed a score, the graphic above shows that the White Sox board currently is larger than the lowly Oakland A’s, who are desperately looking for a new stadium.  Entering its 11th season, the current video board must be nearing its end of life, and one can only hope that a new board is in the cards for the near future, one which might actually let someone know what is going on in the game.
