Comiskey Park
From BR Bullpen
Comiskey Park was the home of Chicago White Sox from 1910 to 1990
Comiskey Park was also home to the Chicago American Giants of the Negro American League from 1941 to 1950 and was also the site of many instances of the East-West Game. Known as "The Baseball Palace of the World," it was named after White Sox owner Charles Comiskey, who built the park on the site of a former dump in 1909. Comiskey was the third concrete-and-steel park in the American League. It hosted just one World Series in which the home team won, the White Sox victory in 1917. However, the Cubs played their 1918 Series against the Red Sox at Comiskey, and of course the Black Sox Series of 1919 was at Comiskey. It also hosted the first All-Star Game in 1933. In its final season, Comiskey saw Bobby Thigpen set a single-season saves record, the debut of Frank Thomas, and a young Sammy Sosa in the outfield.
