That would have been shortly after their last World Series appearance! By the way, do most Sox fans in Chicago know that they established an all time attendance record for a major league baseball game during the '59 WS that still stands?

It should be pointed-out that no other World Series was played in the something as big as the LA Colosseum, which holds roughly 90,000 people.

And the Konerko signing is a very good thing. He (Pauly) said on the radio today that the signing of Jim Thome was a tipping point.

Kenny = genius

I think Mike Herschberger played CenterField when I was a kid!

Nope Ozone, no offense but that would be Jim Landis (one of the best CF ever IMHO).

He roamed the vast Comiskey CF for the ChiSox from 57 to 64.

(I recall weeping when he was traded away)
