ESPN ranks Sox 29th in watchability


Recommended Posts

 The 1977 WSox probably drew more fans than almost any other WSox team in the history of the franchise. The reasons for the attendance draw were basically twofold - Harry Carey and a team that hit a lot of clutch home runs.  The '83 Sox had a great team but the fan support started early on with Fisk, Luzinski and Kittle hitting roof top shots.

I realize that winning games is the ultimate goal, but a lot of fans come out to see home runs. Our line-up, even at full strength, has not produced enough home runs at GRF to create any reason for a lot of fans to attend.

The Sox aren’t producing runs in general, much less home runs.  They are last in total runs scored in the MLB with 16 and averaging 1.78 runs per game.  Who would want to attend a baseball game when your team can’t even outscore the Chicago Fire?
