Eat It Up

This is what matters to the White Sox—the menu, not the roster. The past couple of days, Chicago news outlets have been showering the Sox with free publicity. Want to get something to go with that Campfire Milkshake? Well, check out Korean (hot) dogs or the Changeup Bubble Waffle. As for any player moves that promise to add another twenty or so wins over last year’s pitiful total of 41, move along, nothing to see here. Listen closely, and you can hear my father rolling over in his grave. We went to Comiskey Park to watch baseball. On the way home, we picked up something to eat. I saw rookie Cisco Carlos make his major-league debut against the Red Sox on August 25, 1967. Carlos threw six shutout innings against a Boston lineup that feature Carl Yastrzemski; George Scott; Reggie Smith; and Rico Petrocelli. The soon-to-be 27-year old righthander held the visitors hitless until two out in the fifth inning. Ken Berry hit a walk-off single for a 2-1 right Sox win. That game feels like it happened yesterday. Funny, but I have no idea what we ate.
