Take a digital stroll around the original Comiskey Park

This is a slow time for baseball news, so let's entertain ourselves by watching this video. It allows you to take a digital stroll through the lower concourse of the original Comiskey Park, as it stood at the end of its life.

For those of you unfamiliar, Comiskey Park was home to the White Sox from 1910 to 1990. Watching this video, I'm suddenly 10 years old again. I definitely remember the old picnic area in left field, where you could sit at a table at field level and look out across the playing surface.

Found this video from old Comiskey Park (circa 1990)


Found this video of old Comiskey Park that some random guy shot and thought it was awesome. It takes me back to my childhood. This is a game from 1990, the last year of the old ballpark, when I was 14 years old.

Hall of Famers on the field for the White Sox: Frank Thomas and Carlton Fisk
Future managers on the field for the Sox: Ozzie Guillen and Robin Ventura
Future Cubs icons on the field for the Sox: Sammy Sosa

Plus, an Ivan Calderon (RIP) home run that sets off the exploding scoreboard. Pitching for the Sox? One of my favorites: Alex Fernandez.

Now that I've reached middle age, I appreciate these memories more.
