Bleacher Signs

Having just witnessed the recent World Series one can't help noticing the number of signs held up by fans to attract the roving cameras - some more clever than others. In the past there was always one that stood out and appeared at every outdoor arena and stadium - truly ubiquitous. It read in large print
JOHN 2:18 and was a reference to Scripture about repentance and salvation. I haven't seen this fellow recently and perhaps he has gone to his eternal reward.

A friend of mine when first seeing this sign thought it was a reference to the baseball pitcher Tommy John's earned run average - which was down around 2.18.  Perhaps my friend never opened his New Testament. It's all in the eyes of the beholder............
