On This Day in 1927

Babe Ruth managed to become the first person to hit a homer over the roof of Comiskey Park.  I miss (Old) Comiskey Park.



Even though I've always been a Cub fan, going to Comiskey Park as a kid was always better that going to Wrigley in two ways.  First, the Mazzone's Italian Ice soft serve cones in left field were amazing.  Does anyone know where I can get one of them now?  Second, one could always walk around the entire stadium at Comiskey while at Wrigley the bleachers were/are blocked from the rest of the grandstand.

    Not sure where to get a Mazzone's, but I wonder if that's what made your feet stick to the Comiskey Park flooring.....that floor was so sticky people used to use it to remove calluses...

    It was sold next to the cotton candy but it was definitely the Mazzone's that made the floor so sticky. I think that is where the Oakland Raiders got their Stickem.
