As always, baseball is a game of averages but, as a business, this isn’t supposed to be the way crowd size works!

The last home-game for the White Sox this year drew 15,678. Was it:

A: See history being made. B: Watch the team they were playing. C: Their fans are masochists. D: Cub fans there to gloat.

Catching a foul ball should be easy, since you’re the only people at the stadium.

You shouldn’t give the kid false hope.

Went to a Cleveland Indians game in early 70s against Milwaukee, think about 700 fans in 72,000 seat Cleveland Municipal Stadium. You could hear the typewriters from the press box. Still couldn’t get a foul ball.

Sounds like the BlueJays.

Just holler down for them to toss you one up there!!

Must have been an Angels @ White Sox game last week.

Are we sure this is a minor league game and not the Oakland A’s?

Very funny!

must be a cubs game…

Been going to baseball games for over 40 years and still haven’t caught a foul ball or a home run ball.

I wonder what ol’ Charles Comiskey would have thought about this season. Probably would have laughed, because then he wouldn’t have had to give anybody a raise.

In 1919, premiere knuckleballer Ed Cicotte had a provision in his contract whereby he’d earn an extra $10,000 to win 30 games. (His salary was $6,000.) When he won his 29th, Comiskey ordered manager Kid Gleason to bench him for the rest of the season.
