What was written in Morse Code on the the Green Monster?

Answer 1

the yawkeys initials is the answer that was posted, but it is wrong.

It was meant to be the Yawkeys' ' initials but they made a mistake and it has never been corrected.

On the left vertical side of the American League section, they correctly spell out in Morse Code the initials of Tom Yawkey which are TAY. In morse code that is dash (space) dot dash (space) dash dot dash dash.

But on the right side (reading down) they meant to spell out JRY for Jeans intials but they made a spacing error. It should have read dot dash dash dash (space) dot dash dot (space) dash dot dash dash. However, they incorrectly inserted a space in what should have been the second letter, R. What should have read dot dash dot with a space after it, was incorrectly written as dot dash (then the incorrect space) and then a single dot (which is the letter E. The last letter, Y, was correct as dash dot dash dash.

This resulted in changing the R to two letters, namely A and E, so the whole thing reads JAEY.

Why this has never been caught for all these years is a mystery.

Update: The initials have now been corrected! This happened sometime between 2006 and 2012 (I have compared a photo from 2006 which has the error and 2012 which has it corrected).
