Stop Sign
Karl Ehrhardt passed away. He was the Shea Stadium sign man. My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
My favorite was during the 1973 World Series. Charlie Finley had fired one of his second basemen after he made an error. So whenever the A's made an error, Karl held up a sign that said, "You're fired." Maybe that's where Donald Trump got the idea. :-)

That second baseman was Mike Andrews.
