I guess Sox fans could call me apostate. I grew up a Sox fan in the 50’s and 60’s. Dad even had season tickets for a while. Loved watching Gary Peters pitch. And Sunday doubleheaders were a treat.
Left Chicago for good and baseball for many years. Recently I have gravitated back to baseball, but as a Cubs fan. Go figure. I think Wrigley field has something to do with it. I did go there some as kid, so maybe the fact that Comiskey Park is gone has been a factor.
I'm gonna say ten Hail Mary's for you, you'll come back to the Sox :-)
'series' for a 'few years (10?)' I couldn't watch the Sox, Hawk Harrelson bugged me and the Cubs had better announcers so I'd watch them. But I went back to watching the Sox and Harrelson just grew on me. Now I like him because he talks baseball I know, like you -- of the 50's and 60's. And now he's with the 'Stone Pony' (Steve Stone).
We never had season ticks to the Sox, couldn't afford them. But went to a lot of games in the 'olden days'. Little Louie, Nellie Fox, Jim Landis and 'Minnie'. And you could get in free after the 5th inning iirc and after the 1st game of a Sunday doubleheader (we lived 'pretty close' to Comiskey Park).
I loved that old place and was able to take our two girls there a couple times before they tore it down. Now grown they go to more Sox games than I did.
