pretty sweet.
wonder what 'fallstaffs' is - i.e. the billboard
also kind of shocked to see lights up.
when did night 'lights' debut in baseball - well before this or around this time?

Falstaff was a beer brand.
Cincinnati's Crosley Field was the first MLB park with lights in 1935.

Falstaff was a big brand started in the beginning of the 20th century. Eventually, they were bought out by Pabst and the brand name shelved.
