Sure, this video could be nitpicked to death and most of the stories are more than familiar to '70s Sox fans, but overall pretty entertaining, and the jacket "mystery" gives it a unique angle.

Pretty cool story.  For those who don't want to bother watching, some dude in the UK who's never been to Chicago found a late 70s era Sox jacket on eBay that was apparently used by a player and was not a retail jacket.  As he tracks down the owner, he gives a brief history of the late 70s/Veeck era Sox and particularly the 1977 team.  

Any Sox fan who wants to nitpick this to death needs to lighten up and perhaps get a life.

I don't think there are very many who remember Veeck as the owner . Might be around 10 who post with any regularity.
