He holds an option in 2034. Even if Jerry lives to be 115 and doesn't want to sell, Ishbia will be able to buy it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least someone else figured it out. 😶 My 15 year old son even thought it was a fake troll name. Edited June 6 by WhiteSox2023 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

77 Hitmen Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 22 hours ago, CaliSoxFanViaSWside said: And to finish your thought for Sox fans unaware of aspects of Sox history, the Sox hosted the very 1st All Star Game and I believe are hosting the 100th Anniversary game. Where that will be in Chicago is anyone's guess. It's plenty of time to build that new stadium. ....and they hosted the 50th anniversary game in 1983 at Old Comiskey Park.

But the fact that we do not know when this is going to happen over the next 6 or 7 years, and the fact that it could not happen until 2034 when like Hagen Smith is in his second year as a Dodger, it's like very kind of strange to process."
