There have been some good things (just not recently)...

10. Disco demolition night.
9. 1906 (which pre-empted a glorious three-peat by the Cubs).
8. Mayor Daley setting off the sirens when the Sox won the 1959 pennant.
7. The red and white uniforms from the early 70’s.
6. Dick Allen.
5. Old Comisky Park (even with the astro-turf infield).
4. Watching (and listening to) Goose Gossage and Terry Forster warm up in the bullpen.
3. The 1977 South Side hitmen.
2. Anything Bill Veeck ever did.
1. Listening to Harry Caray and Jimmy Piersall announce a double-header.

Your list in the other thread is awful, this one is almost as bad. I like that Sox fans don't show when the team sucks, the Xibs would have won twice as many games if their fans took that approach. I loved Comiskey park.

My three favorites are:
1 - The Ligues
2 - Frank's magnificently sculptured PED-enhanced physique
3 - How quickly the rest of the world, besides White Sox nation, forgot about 2005

10. Homecoming Weekend
Presented By Village of Bedford Park (Never heard of Homecoming weekend for a MLB team, but OK)

9.Weather Day (Yeah, it plays. Not sure what it is, how or why, but it does....they claim)
Presented By WGN

8. Southpaw's Birthday (Creepy Green guys everywhere)

7. Mullet Night and Fireworks - Be proud of the White Trash you are!
Presented By Great Clips

6.Grateful Dead Night (Sox fan only attend to watch the games, none of this gimmickry!)

5.Christmas in July and Fireworks, Halfway to Mardi Gras, Halfway to St Drinkday...25% more to NYE Day?

4. Bark at the Park - Authentic White Sox Pooper Scoopers (Insert your own jokes)

3. Hispanic Heritage Night and Fireworks- This is actually one of the biggest promotion the Sox do. Yes, It fills the park or gets many more than they usually have. yet, they wait till Sept 30 every year? Maybe a game or time that matters would be nice? Players might even enjoy seeing the park filled?

2. House Music Night - The single biggest attendance the Sox have had the last 5 years outside of the Cubs games, but cancelled due to drugs, police and liability insurance.

1. CHURROS

Not easily amused. If pressured I laugh at old Barney Miller reruns. Great show.

I would say BJ's from a girl in the stands, but Cub fans wouldn't appreciate that.
