Minor league teams possess the "all-in" spirit for which Major League teams seem a bit more aloof. If your team is called the IronPigs, then you go hard at a "pig/bacon" theme, even if one of those things is the dead version of the other.

We'll take the credit MT @darrenrovell: Americans ate 1.1 billion servings of bacon in the year ending April 14 up 6% according to @npdgroup

In Nashville, they have the Sounds, a Triple A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers. They also have country music; so much, in fact, that multiple TV shows about country music feature the word "Nashville" in the title. Given their name and surroundings, the Sounds are doubling down on the music theme with an innovative scoreboard.

Until now, you probably had no idea that the ideal shape of a baseball scoreboard isn't a rectangle, it's a guitar. Look how perfectly everything fits into the curves and neck of the instrument. Brilliant.
