Comiskey Park

The old Comiskey Park closed in 1990. In the late 1970’s I remember sitting in box seats along first base. This was after the Bill Veeck Bermuda shorts but still one of the ugliest uniforms in MLB history. I remember that Lamar Johnson and Don Kessinger were in the infield. For some reason we were making fun of Kessinger’s age even though he wasn’t that old. I also remember that it was hot out and I was more interested in food and drinks than the game.
Of note, the New Comiskey Park (aka US Cellular Field) was the last of the concrete donuts to be built and the location of the old Comiskey home plate can be found on the walkway from the parking lot into the new stadium.
