We are fortunate to have a team such as the Border Cats. A chance to see future major leaguers as they develop in an exciting, competitive college-player league. Since the team first stepped onto the Port Arthur Stadium field, many players have showcased their skills for baseball fans in Thunder Bay. Players that for the most part, come from the United States. Their opponents also come from there, as do some of their fans, and pro scouts.
It's a good stadium for this kind of baseball, with one major exception, the scoreboard. Once again this year, fans have try to decipher that left-field scoreboard, with so many burned out lights it resembles the Russian alphabet with ones looking like sevens.
In my opinion, this is just not acceptable. And, here's the kicker. The scoreboard has TBay-Tel written all over it, which probably makes many think it's the responsibility of the phone company; our city-owned company which prides itself on being on the ''leading edge.''
Here's a suggestion.
Someone at TBay-Tel should get on one of those TBay-Tel phones, make a call, and demand whoever is responsible for that scoreboard to fix the lights, and remove what really is an embarassing sight.
