Hello.
I want to create a page for this site entitled, “Favorite moments for Old Comiskey.” Here’s what I need from you, kind reader. Type up your favorite moment from the old ball park. It could be a game, something that happened in a game that has stayed with you, or hell, it could be the first time you had a kosher dog.
As long as it’s about a moment you had in the ball park I’ll post it (in other words, it can’t be something you watched on television or someone told you about.)
There is no monetary compensation, as I’m not going to make money on it. As an option, for all that want I will post all (or some)of the following (whatever you want): I will post the name of the person who contributed the story, city and state, email, blog/;website link.
Send them to: dtkelly@filegate.net.
So write up those favorite moments and send them in. There is no dealine, I’d like this to be a continuous updated feature.
Thanks,
DTK

I remember being at the game in 1990 when the White Sox won 4-0 against the Yankees. Sure sounds like no big deal, just another shut out, right?
Wrong.
The Yankees pitcher, Andy Hawkins, actually pitched a no-hitter and still lost. 4-0.
Here’s the skinny from baseball-reference.com…..
“Yankees Andy Hawkins throws the season’s 6th no-hitter, but still loses 4 – 0 to the White Sox. With two out in the bottom of the 8th, New York’s Mike Blowers misplays Sosa’s routine grounder for an error, and Hawkins walks two to load the bases. Outfielders Jim Leyritz and Jesse Barfield drop back-to-back fly balls to allow all four runs to score. Barfield loses Ivan Calderon’s fly ball in the sun and the ball bounces off his mitt. Ken Johnson in 1964 was the last pitcher to lose a no-hitter.” [link http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/July_1
