Video Board Animation
Most major sports facilities will use a video board and display graphics and fun videos relating to what is happening in the game. For instance, a home run may be depicted by an animation of a ball flying out to space. These animations are usually high in detail and are customized for the team that uses them. Most MLB facilities do their video editing on site in the press box; however, at AAA stadiums most of it is done off site. The only AAA facility that does video editing on site is the Toledo Mudhens in Toledo, Ohio (Affiliate to the Detroit Tigers). Some teams have animators that create their own animations, while others have outside companies do the work for them.

Famous quotes containing the words video and/or board:
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
“And they heaved a mighty breath, every soul on board but me,
As they saw her nose again pointing handsome out to sea;
But all that I could think of, in the darkness and the cold,
Was just that I was leaving home and my folks were growing old.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
