===Scoreboard=== Long after the much-higher location manual scoreboard from ''c.''1914 existed (as seen in the 1914 photo), the placement of the modern "ground-level" manual scoreboard occurred in 1934. It forms the lower half of the Green Monster and is still updated by hand from behind the wall throughout the game. The American League scores are also updated from behind the wall. The National League scores need to be updated from the front of the wall between innings.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.redsoxdiehard.com/fenway/unique.html| publisher = Red Sox die hard | title=What makes Fenway Fenway}}</ref> There is also a board which shows the current [[American League East]] standings. There are 127 slots in the wall and a team of three score keepers move around {{convert|2|lb|kg|1|spell=in|adj=on}}, {{convert|13|by|16|in|cm|adj=on}} plates to represent the score. Yellow numbers are used to represent in-inning scores and white numbers are used to represent final inning tallies. The numbers of the current pitchers weigh {{convert|3|lb|kg|spell=in}} and measure {{convert|16|by|16|in|cm}}.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/industry/4277444.html|title= Technology|work= Popular Mechanics|url-status= dead|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090604215519/http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/industry/4277444.html|archive-date= 2009-06-04}}</ref> [[Carlton Fisk]]'s "body English" when he hit his [[Walk off home run|game-winning home run]] in Game 6 of the [[1975 World Series]], "waving" the ball fair, was captured on a TV camera stationed in the scoreboard. ====Morse code==== In the vertical white lines of the American League section of the scoreboard, [[Morse code]] representing the initials of former owners [[Tom Yawkey|Thomas A. Yawkey]] and [[Jean R. Yawkey]] is visible.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://nesn.com/2023/07/nine-things-you-might-not-know-about-fenway-park-history/ |title=Nine Things You Might Not Know About Fenway Park History |first=Jason |last=Ounpraseuth |website=[[NESN]] |date=July 8, 2023 |accessdate=May 16, 2025}}</ref> As shown in various photos of the wall, the patterns are {{morse|dash}}{{nbsp}}{{morse|dot|dash}}{{nbsp}}{{morse|dash|dot|dash|dash}} (TAY) and {{morse|dot|dash|dash|dash}}{{nbsp}}{{morse|dot|dash|dot}}{{nbsp}}{{morse|dash|dot|dash|dash}} (JRY), each of which runs from top to bottom in a white stripe.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.wbur.org/news/2018/03/05/yawkey-way-red-sox-morse-code |title=Yawkey Way Might Go, But The Yawkey Morse Code On The Green Monster Will Stay |first=Ally |last=Jarmanning |website=[[WBUR-FM]] |date=March 5, 2018 |accessdate=May 16, 2025}}</ref>
