This image of the Wrigley Field scoreboard was sent to me by reader Michael Teixeira, who noted in his email, “I saw the attached picture in an ad and wondered if it is based on a real day or is it just made up? If anyone could figure it out, that would be you.”
Well, Michael, you’re right.
You have probably seen many ads featuring the Wrigley board, and often they just put random matchups on it that don’t match up with reality. This one was from Fanatics and pops up on Facebook.
In this case, though, this board does feature an actual gameday.
