Baseball Scorecard Invention, by George Coleman, 1924

Introducing the cutting-edge electric baseball scoreboard, a revolutionary innovation in sports technology. This remarkable creation, developed by the brilliant inventor George Coleman, takes the game of baseball to a whole other level. In this captivating photograph from 1924, George Coleman himself is depicted alongside the intricate mechanism of the state-of-the-art scoreboard of the time.

Baseball scoreboards have come a long way since their early days. In the early 20th century, manual scoreboards were the norm. A person would manually change the score and keep track of the innings. However, as technology advanced, so did the scorekeeping methods. In the 1960s and 70s, electronic scoreboards started to make their appearance, but they were still limited in their capabilities. It wasn't until the 1990s and 2000s that digital scoreboards became more prevalent in major league stadiums.
