In his mind, Eddie was never wrong about anything. He was right about SportsVision being a gold mine and he was right about Tropicana Field in St. Pete being a gold mine for MLB. What a visionary!
Interesting quote from Jerry. That's about as close to admitting a mistake as he'll ever get. And note how his wording puts the blame back on the fans. It was us fans who weren't ready for their business model! It's like when someone says "I'm sorry you took it the wrong way" when they make a non-apology.
If Eddie and Jerry bought a gas station in 1982 they would have removed all the gas pumps and replaced them with EV charging stations, then whined that the customers just weren't ready for their brilliant business model as they went out of business.

Not saying Sportsvision was a good idea, but a $100 box brought you the Sox/Hawks and boobs......
A $100 pirate box. ONTV had the movies and Sportsvision was for the games and they charged a monthly fee if you had it legitimately.

I love no matter what happens in Chicago, Sportsvision is brought up at a negative, even though in 2024 is the exact business model that all teams use.
Sportsvision broadcast over the air on UHF and subscribers were required to have a special antenna installed on their roof and have a special box attached to their sets then had to pay a subscription fee to watch only White Sox games which everyone was used to watching for free. Meanwhile their cross town rivals were airing their games for free on what was at the time a Superstation, WGN.
Sportsvision was definitely a negative.

Probably because we watched the White Sox turn a similarly ranked farm system from 2018, into what we see now?
What, you didn't enjoy watching the "young championship core?"

Check back when this organization actually develops these "prospects."

I’m very interested how bad it has to get before they can someone.
These are the people that replaced the ones who were canned because it got so bad. It only got worse. It will never get better until the current ownership is gone.

To me firing him would be a silly PR move to try and convince fans the team is better than they are. We know that's crap. They are a 110 loss talent team. He ain't hurting anyone, they do that in their own.
Just hire Ozzie and make the s%*# show complete. The franchise is a joke anyway. At least it will be entertaining.

Didn't Benintendi used to be a halfway decent player before he came to the White Sox? What is it with this organization that turns everybody to s%*#?
