Vintage backgrounds: Fenway Park billboard

Here's a somewhat different view of Fenway Park. The billboard on Landsdowne Street, advertising Gilbey's Gin here in 1968, features prominently.
 A year earlier, in a photo I found on the Fleer Sticker Project blog, you can see the same billboard in the 1967 World Series advertising Old Grand-Dad. Probably close to 100 fans climbed the billboard to get a free look at a World Series game.
