I managed to scrape through today’s search without any knowledge of baseball except FIELD OF DREAMS and Their own league – Not that neither movie had a jumbotron – and needed two tips to finish the search.
One of the things I think is most annoying at watching live sports on TV is crowd shots, and especially the moment a fan is just watching himself on the big screen as someone close to them tapping them on the shoulder and the camera cuts away before we see their reaction.
That said, if you ever take a kid to a live game in a stadium, this will often be what excites them the most. Not world -class athletes appearing in front of them or the excitement of being in a quantity, no, it will be the Mexican wave and the moment they almost appeared on Jumbotron.
How did you do today? Tell me that in the comments below.
