    		A series of dashes and dots run vertically down the two center divider columns of the manual scoreboard. They symbolize the initials of former team owners Thomas Austin Yawkey (TAY) and Jean Remington Yawkey (JRY) written in morse code. Mr. Yawkey's initials are on the left. In 2004 Nike, in a TV ad honoring the Red Sox championship, used Morse Code to spell out its corporate slogan, "Just Do It", in the margins surrounding the screen.
