Al Lopez's Ghost Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Does anyone know when the Sox made their own pop? My foggy memory says they did it during prohibition. Can anyone confirm this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Lopez's Ghost Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 Yesterday, I found an old article in the Sun Times. The Sox scoreboard directions supervisor said the bottles were produced in the late 1910's and early 1920's during prohibition. Apparently, the Sox were the first ever to produce orange soda. Thanks for trying to confirm this for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I say, "That's a home run," my assistant pushes a button that sends an electric charge under the field that illuminates a light behind the scoreboard alerting pyrotechnicians to flip off the safety switch that activates the fireworks. It takes three seconds Umm can't the pyrotechnicians just get a live feed of the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
