Enhancing Presentation with Slides and Other Visuals

Appearance is crucial when maintaining a business. For the Yankees clubhouse, there's no exceptions. When you enter Yankees stadium, the first thing you notice is this huge Projection TV on the left displaying the game. This was put there for a specific reason. It is a way to advertise the game so that the spectators outside can get a full view of the field and players. This was set up to intrigue the crowd outside to buy tickets and join the fun. Another important viewing aspect for the Yankees ballpark is the Monument Park, which was built to commemorate some of their best players. It contains the monuments of five baseball icons - Miller Huggins, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle.There are also 20 plaques that recognize the careers of 20 pinstriped legends, including Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, Elston Howard, Reggie Jackson and Don Mattingly. This was built so the fans can honor those who played with the pinstripe and contributed to this teams success. Electrical stripes are displayed all over the stadium to help the fans keep track of the score. Everything I mentioned in this essay are different forms of enhancement to help the vistors and fans keep track of what is going on, as well as what has happened within this ballpark/team.
