Beskrivning
These new essays and memories cover the history and evolution of the former home of the Chicago White Sox, as well as its importance to its surrounding neighborhoods, and to the city of Chicago. The essays cover Charles Comiskey and the location of the ballpark; the neighborhoods that surround the site; the dimensions and configurations of Old Comiskey Park; a summary of All-Star, World Series, and playoff games played there; Negro League baseball at Comiskey Park; Bill Veeck; the ballpark as host to events and sports other than White Sox baseball; and an analysis of the evolution of the famous "exploding scoreboard," the original model for today's modern sports stadium boards. Former players, White Sox personnel and fans contributed memories, including substantial pieces by Roland Hemond and Nancy Faust.

“an entertaining and well-written book, with a variety of essays that do a fine job of capturing the history of the park over its eight decades.... A real strength of the book is its extensive use of photographs to tell the story of the park’s history.... The photos alone make this book a valuable work...a comprehensive and very interesting book, one that should be of interest to serious baseball fans”—SABR Deadball Committee Newsletter “an historical book series such as the McFarland Historic Ballparks collection, whose latest installment encompasses the 81 year story of Old Comiskey Park in Chicago, the long-time home of Barack Obama’s beloved White Sox”—Life.nationalpost.com; “for anyone who loved the old park, it’s an absolute must-have, and for any White Sox fan or student of baseball history, it’s a great read.”—Kurt Smith, author of Ballpark E-Guides series.
