Wow.

Thanks for some great White Sox memories, 2nd Bn.

My entire family is from metro Chicago.

My parents moved to south Florida in the 1940’s.

Strange as it seems today, Broward County was almost entirely transplants from the Midwest in those days.

I used to listen to Bob Elson broadcast every Sox game on one of just three or four radio stations in the area.

And Hershberger’s arm!

I'd get to see a couple games at Comiskey during summer vacation each year.

I saw Hershberger field an average fly ball with a runner tagging on third.

My dad is beating on my shoulder saying “Watch him, watch him.”

Perfect strike to home plate.

The runner didn't even try to slide.

The stadium went crazy.

It still was back in the mid-70s when I moved there...Miami was a whole other world to Fort Lauderdale back then. That all changed starting in the 80s. Now it's all just one big googleplex.
