Possible Second Thoughts


The White Sox were kind enough to send a calendar in the mail yesterday.  On the cover is a shot of the Cell that looks downright…Comiskeyish.  I say that because I have a picture of Comiskey from the 1930s in the basement, and you’d swear the one begot the other; both are exterior shots.  The calendar one has to be because once you get inside, you’re not in Kansas anymore.  

None of the calendar photos emphasize the pitch of the upper deck; I wonder why.  Five of the months feature food or alcohol shots.  And here I thought the Sox wanted to get away from the outdoor saloon notoriety the team had under former owner Bill Veeck.  Four pictures were of the Cell when empty.
How sad, yet appropriate.
