What were all the movies that featured the Sox or Comiskey Park or the Cell?

 

Obviously everyone remembers Eight Men Out and Field of Dreams.

 

The others I can remember are:

 

My Best Friend's Wedding - I think Julia Roberts was a waitress in the SkyBox

 

Watch It - This is very, very funny, but unwatched movie - but one couple were seen kissing at the Cell while fireworks went off overhead.

We were the bad guys in Angels in the Outfield.

little big league, major league, angels in the outfield I believe as well.

The sox were always dominating in those movies

Only The Lonely

 

They had a picnic on the pitchers mound of Comiskey.

My Best Friend's Wedding - I think Julia Roberts was a waitress in the SkyBox

 

 

 

IIRC.. she was a guest at her "best friends" engagement party which was held on the terrace down the 3rd base line.

I didn't watch the movie but I think I remember seeing "The Ladies Man" movie with the Ladies Man on the scoreboard of Comiskey park.....that was a few years ago.

Major League 2?

Back in the 70's some filmakers gave my friends and I a big banner that said "drop dead LeFlore" and filmed us holding it in the center field bleachers at Comiskey before a game. I assume they were making a movie about Ron Leflore, though I never saw it.

I vaugely remember John Cusak in Comiskey filming movie.

Yup. My Sister has that Movie taped. I remember Hawk mentioning it cause they were doing a live game while they were filming at the game was on WGN

That was Ron LeFlore's Life story. I shows when Mickey Stanley got hurt and LeFlore took Over in Certer for Stanley. I remember that scene. I remember the fellow who plays Leflore looking up to the Banner

parts of rookie of the year are filmed at the cell. jack parkman in major league 2 is a white sox also

According to imdb.com:

And from the website http://www.sandlotshrink.com/moviebb.htm

 

2. The Stratton Story (1949)... The story of White Sox pitcher Monty Stratton, whose leg was amputated at age 26 after a hunting accident was a box office smash starring Jimmy Stewart and June Allyson. Frank Morgan steals a few scenes as manager Barney Wiles. Stratton, who was an active advisor on the set, won 36 games in his brief career with a trick pitch he called the gander. Ex-players Jimmy Dykes, Bill Dickey, Spec Shea, Ted Lyons and active (at the time) players Luke Appling, Gene Beardon, Lou Novikoff and George Vico appear. Won an Oscar for best story. Filmed at L.A.'s Wrigley Field and Gilmore Park as well as scenes in Comiskey Park, Cleveland Stadium, Griffith Stadium and Tiger Stadium.

You forgot those.

Found this interesting tidbit about Ferris Bueller's Day Off:

 

2. The Wrigley Field scene is shot on location there only because the Cubs were in town on the day of the shooting; otherwise it would have been shot at the old Comiskey Park because John Hughes is a White Sox fan.

parts of rookie of the year are filmed at the cell. jack parkman in major league 2 is a white sox also

 

Yep, the Cell was supposed to be Dodger Stadium in that.

That scene in Ferris probably helped create quite a few Cubs fans as well. :headshake

We were in my grama's seats that day (144 row 2) and everyone was looking up at the huge lights and boom mic's. We say Julia walking on the suite level when we were leaving the Stadium Club after the game was over.

I read that Mr. 3000 would have been about a player on the White Sox had they not hosted the ASG when they did.

 

Talk about right place wrong time...

Only The Lonely

 

They had a picnic on the pitchers mound of Comiskey.

 

I get choked up every time I see that scene. They shoot off the scoreboard too. Ah Good ole Comiskey Park.

There have been a some movies with us being the bad guys. But I guess I can understand since we do wear black. That woulda been cool to have Mr. 3000 be on the Sox. I haven't seen the movie though, is it any good?

In "Red Heat" Jim Belushi and Arnold watch Baines fly out and Guillen steal second in a game against the Tigers.

 

In "Rookie of the year," Comiskey Park was used as the home stadium for the Dodgers.

I think Big Frank is in Mr. Baseball.

Yep...he's the hotshot rookie who takes Tom Sellecks job...with the Yankees.
