New Features For "This Date in Sox History..."

Just wanted to let everyone know that this week, in an effort to make reading This Date In Sox History more enjoyable, we are going to be making some additions.

 

As some of you know I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing around 60 members of the White Sox family over the years. Some of the people I’ve talked with have actually been a part of some of the historical events that are written about daily over at Chicago Now / Sox Net.

 

So where appropriate, I’m going to start including excerpts from those interviews. Later this coming week for example, you can read comments from Joe Horlen, Ray Herbert and Eric Soderholm about their remembrances of some of the historic events in White Sox history.

 

I hope you’ll enjoy this addition.

 

Also with help from Daniel Shapiro, on the 31st of July and continuing in the future there will be times when you can actually listen to the historic moments…that’s right… I said listen to those moments as called by Sox announcers like Bob Elson, Don Wells, Milo Hamilton, Jack Drees, Harry Caray, Jimmy Piersall, Joe McConnell, John Rooney, Don Drysdale and “Hawk” Harrrelson.

 

Again it’s something that I hope will peak your interest.

 

That’s “This Date In Sox History” located at Chicago Now / Sox Net.

 

Many thanks,

Mark

Sounds like awesome stuff. I'm particularly interested in the Ray Herbert stuff. He was one of my favorites when I was a kid.

 

Later this week (I forget what day exactly...) he talks about pitching (and winning) the 1962 All Star Game at Wrigley Field.

It's funny, I remember sitting on my cousin's front porch in Lake Bluff listening to that game on the radio. I was 12.
