This ad was posted at Fenway Park in response to their new pitcher, Daisuke Matsuzaka.

Do you guys (and Spalding) think an ad like this would cause a stir if posted at Wrigley? It seems whenever any ads are posted at Wrigley, people act as if the sky is falling... let alone something they can't read.

so, this ad would "cause problems".... but the very fact that your beloved are located in "boyz town" is no worries?!.... "boyz town" for a reason, luv

larry, being that the carmines now have dice-k, im sure a good chunk of red sox home games will be shown back in his native japan.

i see no problem with that sign...or the many japanese language signs at seattle's safeco field either.

It would probably be accepted at Wrigley because the north side is much more diverse then the rest of the city

Could you imagine the outcry if something was put up that 3/4 of the population couldn't read?

Linda,

I don't care what signs they hang at Fenway. If you can't figure out that is an ad for Dunkin Donuts even if it's in Japanese then you are as dumb as people say you are.

It's actually not a bad strategy.

It was a rough (bad) estimate.... I don't have the exact numbers but I guess you do. Care to share?

Seeing that an ad behind home plate or on the outfield wall at Wrigley is a HUGE deal, do you think an ad in another language would be an issue?

As long as the message is not inappropriate or offensive it could be written in wing dings for all I care.

you ever been to Beverly, Coach....
it's pretty damn diverse.
uber-rich to uber-poor.

I thought about you too Doug. Is that gey of me?)

I know but even a small advertisement (in english) at Wrigley is a big deal. Could you imagine the outcry if something was put up that 3/4 of the population couldn't read?

It's actually not a bad strategy. Whether you can tell what the ad is for, is not the issue. Seeing that an ad behind home plate or on the outfield wall at Wrigley is a HUGE deal, do you think an ad in another language would be an issue? Just a question, Spalding. No need to get your butt all sweaty about it.

The 2 companies will come to an agreement on where the sign will be placed and how much it will cost. If the advertiser is willing to pay a high price the organization will accept that money. As long as the message is not inappropriate or offensive it could be written in wing dings for all I care.
