Old Comiskey Park (1/3)

My first baseball game was a White Sox game. I watched Gary Peters shut out the Yankees 1-0. I was hooked. Even though I grew up on the North Side, I was a Sox fan (and I have the scars to prove it!). I was there when Joel Horlen threw a no-hitter, when Jerry Dybzinski got caught in a rundown against the Orioles. I remember Harry in the bleachers for the Wednesday day games, Dick Allen smoking a cigarette on the cover of S.I., Wilbur Wood, Smoky Burgess, Bee Bee Richards, Steve Dahl, Rick Reichardt, Ed Herrmann, McCuddy's.....you get the idea. This is video I shot from my last game at Old Comiskey. I wanted to soak in as much of the flavor as possible. It wasn't about the game, it was about that park. All that's missing is the smell of grilled onions, mixed with the cigar smoke, mixed with the marijuana, mixed with the beer, mixed with the urine. I've since moved to St. Louis - Cardinal fans and Sox fans are very similar in one respect.....in that when it comes to Chicago baseball, there is only ONE major league team........THE SOX!
