Jomboy on Robot Umpires and the Future of Baseball
Jimmy O’Brien: I don’t think the fan nor Major League Baseball—and Rob Manfred has said this—realized how much of an entertainment spectacle it was going to be in stadium to have the big board show up, and the animation. And I think that’s a huge part of it.
TL;DR
- The fan and Major League Baseball may not have realized the entertainment value of the big board and animations in stadiums.
- Rob Manfred has also acknowledged this aspect.
- The animation and big board displays are considered a huge part of the entertainment spectacle.
