The wrecking balls first strike against old Comiskey Park. I have about two hours of this footage going from April 3rd until May 8th, 1991. At the end you can see clear through the park. If you, like me, are a die hard White Sox fan and want this footage i will burn you a copy for ten dollars. Just email me at echristianhess@yahoo.com or echristianhess@gmail.com and we can hash out the details.

  • IF they really had to tear down this stadium (and granted I'm saying 'if' - I never believed the fake engineering reports) they should have built a New old Comiskey Park - I mean an updated modernized version of Comiskey 1.

  • @nowpitching22 that's pretty funny because, at the time, that was an idea that was floated around in certain circles but was laughed off. Until Baltimore built theirs and it was exactly that....a "new old" park.

  • I feel bad for the crane operator since I also operate a crane. You never know what you will teardown or put up. 150#1

  • Interesting take on that. I actually never thought of the whole thing that way but you're right! Now i wonder if he was a Sox fan?

  • What a sad day....and the only monument they left was a crappy home plate replica that now stands in a parking lot. So much for history and tradition. Thanks for the video.

  • that crane has some weak balls

  • lol @ the people boo'ing and the guy yelling "get out of there!" like thats going to do anything.

  • "They paved paradise and put up a parking lot, oooh la la la"

  • @nowpitching22 Love your idea. That's exactly what real Sox Fans wanted to do.

  • A GREAT DAY IN CHICAGO HISTORY GO CUBS LOL

  • @CubsFan2812 how would you feel if they tore down Wrigly

    which they never will, but this is hypothetical.

  • Seems like that would take forever...

  • Actully the old plate is still in use at the the cell now.

  • tearing this down, Ebbets field down, Yankee stadium down and the polo grounds is a sin
