If you peek at an old photo, not only are you disqualified, but seven years of bad luck are sure to follow.
Who advertised on the outfield walls at Ebbets Field? Of course the clients weren't always the same, but I seem to recall quite a few advertisers occupying the identical locations year after year. Having said that, I am able to visualize only a few (and I'm not too sure about some of those). Your confirmations, denials and additions are most welcome. (The scoreboard, which has been well-documented elsewhere, need not concern us on this page - unless you insist.)
I remember Esquire Boot Polish, Gem Blades, Tydol Flying A Gasoline, The Brass Rail. Can it be possible - Goldenberg's Peanut Chews? That's as far as I go.
Trying to save face, let me point out that there was an opening (overhead door) in left-center for the grounds crew's equipment, another in straightaway center for the batting cage, and of course the double-door center field gate itself, through which fans could exit after the game (until those pleasant excursions were prohibited).
Not bad for someone who can't remember what he had for breakfast. (I just remebered!)
Now it's your turn.
