and Thome’s 500th homer game.

I was at this game which I won’t ever see happen again. It was my first “Turn Back the Clock Night” game and also the first game they started playing the “Let’s Go Go-Go White Sox” song at that year, seeing as they were in the 59 jerseys and playing the Dodgers. That four-run ninth inning was amazing and as soon as A.J. hit it we all knew it was over. None of us thought it was leaving the park though. Easily the loudest its ever been at USCF while I’ve been there.

My other one is this game, and seeing as they tied a MLB record with the homeruns, I don’t think I’ll ever see it again.

His homer was probably the most shocking thing I’ve ever seen at a Major League baseball game. I was also at the game against St. Louis when Anthony Reyes threw a 1-hitter but it was a solo blast to Thome and the Sox won 1-0.

I saw toby hall homer too.

and saw a forfeit.

where they hit back to back to back to back homeruns against the royals. There were 2 outs, and thome, konerko, alexei, and uribe all went yard. I remember wanting toby to get a single and for the crowd to boo the fact that it was not a home run. I told my brother after the first two pitches to juan “look, hes trying to hit one too.” and he did. It was pretty awesome to witness live.

I was also at the first game after we acquired carl and robbie alomar in 2003. Paulie was shitty that year, as you may remember, and wasn’t starting. It was against minnesota, and may have also been the game jaime burke got leveled by torii hunter. It went to extras, and minnesota took a 2 run lead in the top of the 11th, and with 2 outs and a man on, paulie pinch hit for brian daubach (I was pissed at this, because Daubach had hit a home run earlier in the game, and paulie was shitty 03 version). Paulie hit it out, and sent the game into the 12th, where Big Frank had like a 13 pitch at bat which anded in a home run. It was just a generally awesome game.

was at the cubs-sox brawl in 06 where iguchi had 7 rbis.

also at the 19 inning game against the red sox.

1. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHA/CHA200509200.shtml The famed Joe Crede! game in ‘05 (I didn’t hear the call, of course). The play Uribe made in the 8th was almost as exciting as the game-winner in the 10th.

2. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHA/CHA200006190.shtml The first home game back in 2000 vs. Cleveland when the Sox came home after a 7-0 road trip ending with a 4-game sweep of the Yanks when they were the Yanks (the last game of which was a true beat-down of El Duque when he was El Duque). The game itself was good enough, but it was the deafening ovation the team got when they took the field before the 1st that made it memorable.

3. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHA/CHA199006140.shtml 1990 Sox beat the A’s when they were the A’s to climb within a game of 1st place — also the last game I saw in old Comiskey. The Sox ultimately finished a distant 2nd to the A’s that year, but won 94 games after having been horrendous since the Hawk-as-GM-year in 1986 (it was also the year Frank and Fernandez got called up and Thigpen set the saves record). Overall, one of my favorite seasons.
