RKO's Digs At TKK

[John Mullaney]

Those poles could be some kind of lights? Remember The day-light type lights
that where all used to today where more a need for Television. So I wouldn't
be surprised if there where less powerful types before TV. That is defiantly
the case in the Garden which was obviously lighted way before TV but nothing
like it was lighted later.

Notice anything else about that photo?...there are no light towers.  Anyone
know when Fenway added lights for night games.  I assume it was after the
war, probably late 40's.
