The start of the 2023 MLB season is thankfully almost upon us, with every team set to play on Opening Day next Thursday in what should be a fun day for baseball.
This season is going to look different, as there are a lot of new rules that will have immediate impacts on the game.
While the bases will be bigger this season, there’s something else that is going to be a lot bigger - the New York Mets' new scoreboard at Citi Field. The team showed off its new toy earlier this week and a bunch of reporters got to see it first hand on Thursday.
Check this thing out:

I mean, that thing is HUGE!
The team broke it in with some Mario Kart, because why not?
Fired up the scoreboard for the first time. Did we do this right? 🎮 pic.twitter.com/BOqWY6HQAu
