Comiskey Park during the 1959 World Series. Bill Veeck would apply the first coat of white paint during the off-season. The buildings to the east of the park were cleared, and replaced by the Dan Ryan Expressway.

This is awesome!
What a beautiful park!
I also love the buildings that were eventually cleared for the Dan Ryan, especially that field house.
It’s taken years of practice to be such an asshole.

Outstanding.
Was the fieldhouse related to the Sox?
Our manager wears 13, we were supposedly cursed, and we wear black. Let's play.
Me too.
Ah…the smell of Chicken Unlimited Chicken wafting throughout the lower level concourse and the centerfield biker fights on a warm summer night. Just heaven.

One thing I always remember is the yellow bars around our seats and the people smoking all around us
the mix-smell of urine/peanuts/churros.
Two rights make one wrong
And the upper deck often closed
due to lack of attendance. People gripe about the 500 level at The Cell. That outfield upper deck at Comiskey was miles away from the action.

this is not correct.
it was way lower and way closer to the field than the current one.

The upper deck at old comiskey was about club level at the cell.
Upper deck seats in the infield were good seats.

the upperdeck in the outfield were good seats too
see a homer fly over your head onto or over the roof was amazing.

Our tickets have been 11 rows off of 3rdbase dugout since the early 80's.
Ozzie was always peeking his head over the dugout, in retrospect looking for tail, but he would always make funny faces at my sister and me. We always like Ozzie because of that but my father hated him because he refused to take walks.

People on the roof!
What a beautiful shot.

TWSS.
He was the last vestige of a time when men named Rube and Mordecai and Smokey Joe and Grover strode as giants upon the land, their won-loss records both gleaming and gory, good and bad entangled.
