Old Comiskey Park (1/3)

Nice footage. You almost captured the left side of the scoreboard showing the Sox defense. Catch a quick glipse of Sosa in Right field. The amazing games this park saw. Thanks for the post.

This is better than any pro documentary or special in reminding and reminiscing the old park that you can buy or see on tv. Thanks for posting and sharing.

I must say that even though I am a Cubs fan and that I never saw a game at Old Comiskey. But,from the looks of it, It probably was a kick ass place to watch baseball. I'm going to Wrigley this weekend and watching this makes me appreciate having a great classic ballpark to watch baseball in. Comiskey had a ton of history and I wish I had a chance to watch a game there.

Went to my first Sox game as a kid with my Grandfather and Dad in the '50's. Also my first Taxi ride. Yankees won 7-0. Mantle hit a homer right-handed and left-handed.

The Cubs weren't even warm tea in the 50's The Sox were usually finishing second to Yanks every year and were THE ticket. As a kid, we'd walk down 35th street and hang out all day at the park for $1.50. Great place. Great memories. Great times. Thanks for the post!

Got, thanks for your input. It's amazing how these childhood memories stick. I still remember my first night game....all the cigarette/cigar smoke haze, the beer smell, etc....I only wish McCuddy's had still been around so I could have shot some video there....
Cheers!

wtf fuck jerry reinsdorf! the sox could be still playing in this stadium...

sadly no way, the park was completely falling apart. From the top to the foundation, it was crumbling. It's to bad it couldn't be saved!

The Sox could play in that stadium, but I like them in their current home. If they were in Comiskey I, it would a dump comparable to what Wrigley is today. I don't want my team to have 100 year old crap for their stadium. I'll take the newly renovated USCF with its wide concourses, fan deck, bullpen sports bar, fundamentals deck, etc.

was this last game? half the seats are empty? wait... they always are, comisky park or cellular, it's always a graveyard. =/ where do they get money....

i just noticed now dat da new stadium has lots of statues. i havent been 2 1 in like 5 yrs.rip comiskey park and mr.comiskey!
