A distant sign of spring

It might be cold and snowy in Rhode Island today, but here's something of interest to the baseball fans out there. N4N passed by Fenway Park during a visit to Boston last week, and I had the chance to admire a new sign that the Red Sox have installed in the parking lot across the street on Brookline Avenue.

The Sox organization has done a characteristically impressive job with the update: the new baseball-shaped sign not only rotates, unlike the one it replaced, it has the proper retro look to blend in seamlessly and has been joined by an oversized bat, as well as the somewhat less charming, but unsurprising electronic message board.
