In the early Twentieth century, many towns posted scores of Major League Baseball's World Series games in downtown areas, so that citizens could keep abreast of the games as they happened. Scoreboard operators would change numbers as they received telegram or telephone notices. Later, radio broadcasts of the games were played by loudspeaker for standing crowds on the street. The Daily Sentinel newspaper posted the scores outside their building at 6th and Main Streets in Grand Junction, Colorado.
