I finally got around to removing everything in my ms. pac cabinet yesterday in prep for paint removal, body work that will lead to me painting the thing with stencils and all and I noticed the following written inside on the PCB side towards the bottom:
"Sox 2 NY 7"
apparently the yankees or mets won. This seems like it was written prior to when the cabinet was assembled as the angle of the text would be hard to write already assembled...so i wrote a script to crawl baseball-reference.com and look for every score the sox lost to the yankees or mets with a score of 2-7. result:
Yankees - 9/23/1983, 5/31/1991, 9/9/2001
Mets - Never.
I think its fairly possible this was written in 1983..i wouldn't be surprised if this is when this cab was made as the serial number is in the 30k range..
BTW, the only scores i found were for red sox/yankees...not white sox..no record of chicago white sox losing to either NY team 2-7...i would have thought a CHI score would be written..hmm
funny
