retro1983hat Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 What were all the movies that featured the Sox or Comiskey Park or the Cell? Obviously everyone remembers Eight Men Out and Field of Dreams. The others I can remember are: My Best Friend's Wedding - I think Julia Roberts was a waitress in the SkyBox Watch It - This is very, very funny, but unwatched movie - but one couple were seen kissing at the Cell while fireworks went off overhead.

Carlo Paz Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Back in the 70's some filmakers gave my friends and I a big banner that said "drop dead LeFlore" and filmed us holding it in the center field bleachers at Comiskey before a game. I assume they were making a movie about Ron Leflore, though I never saw it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that scene. I remember the fellow who plays Leflore looking up to the Banner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanOfCorn Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 And from the website http://www.sandlotshrink.com/moviebb.htm 2. The Stratton Story (1949)... The story of White Sox pitcher Monty Stratton, whose leg was amputated at age 26 after a hunting accident was a box office smash starring Jimmy Stewart and June Allyson. Frank Morgan steals a few scenes as manager Barney Wiles. Stratton, who was an active advisor on the set, won 36 games in his brief career with a trick pitch he called the gander. Ex-players Jimmy Dykes, Bill Dickey, Spec Shea, Ted Lyons and active (at the time) players Luke Appling, Gene Beardon, Lou Novikoff and George Vico appear. Won an Oscar for best story. Filmed at L.A.'s Wrigley Field and Gilmore Park as well as scenes in Comiskey Park, Cleveland Stadium, Griffith Stadium and Tiger Stadium.

CanOfCorn Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Found this interesting tidbit about Ferris Bueller's Day Off: 2. The Wrigley Field scene is shot on location there only because the Cubs were in town on the day of the shooting; otherwise it would have been shot at the old Comiskey Park because John Hughes is a White Sox fan.

WilliamTell Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 There have been a some movies with us being the bad guys. But I guess I can understand since we do wear black. That woulda been cool to have Mr. 3000 be on the Sox. I haven't seen the movie though, is it any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santo=dorf Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 In "Red Heat" Jim Belushi and Arnold watch Baines fly out and Guillen steal second in a game against the Tigers. In "Rookie of the year," Comiskey Park was used as the home stadium for the Dodgers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
