Texsox Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Any ideas how much JR is saving on fireworks by the team avoiding home runs? It has to be a couple hundred thousand dollars by the end of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The least the offense can do is give their ace some runs so he can pick up a win and have a shot at the Cy Young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a White Sox home run, 20 fireworks are ignited from the scoreboard. 20 x the cost of a single firework x # of HR's = Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot less than Leury Garcia…prices have doubled the last 2-3 years though due to world supply chains/logistics. The original Bill Veeck Exploding scoreboard in the old stadium was $300,000 back in the day. Edited August 11, 2022 by caulfield12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Train to 35th Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Experts warn since most fireworks come from China, and since COVID shipping costs have climbed which has resulted in a steep increase in the cost this year.

It seems like every low point, they always bounce back a little to keep us interested. Fully expecting Sox to win at least 3 of the next 4 this weekend.
