In the major league stadiums, they ever break the number of runs scored by inning.

I heard the advanced ones show hits and errors as well. And the super duper advanced ones keep score of OTHER games.

You're right, look at this! How are fan's heads not spontaneously exploding at the wealth of information?

No but the scoreboard operator's head is exploding due to having to change every digit by hand, in this example.

Major league franchises have the money to have such sophisticated systems.

The scoreboard sponsors won't be happy that their donation has been wasted. Had a guy in my first referee class. His name was Brad. He asked a lot of stupid questions and came up with a lot of convoluted scenarios. The instructor came up with the Brad-o-meter. He was allowed only 3 stupid comments per class and then he was patently ignored. I think there is one poster in this thread that would not have lasted 30 seconds [visible count] in that class.

My real name is not Brad.
