New Sox YouTube Video, featuring Eric Soderholm

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.
