Good story about the 3 game span that the Sox wore shorts in 1976, the only HR ever hit wearing those shorts and how that time in Sox history is remembered.

Sox were 8 for 8 in steals in that 3 game span . Amazing

 

I bring this up because the Sox will be wearing those 1976 unis today ( without the shorts) August 27th.

Here's another article with a picture. Can anyone name some of the guys in the picture ? I'm pretty sure I see Brian Downing , Chet Lemon and Bucky Dent.

An excerpt from the Brohamer article:

 

Brohamer, who credits former Indians teammate Graig Nettles with fostering his acerbic sense of humor, was quoted in the Chicago papers saying he wouldn’t wear the shorts unless they let him wear a halter top, as well. “We had a lot of fun with that,” Brohamer remembers. “Bart Johnson, who was like 6 foot 6, told them, ‘I’m just going to wear Brohamer’s long pants!’ I’m 5-9, so we had a bit of a height difference there.”

 

C'mon I know some of you old timers remember this as much as you do Disco Demolition.

SouthSideSox also had a few good articles on the 1976-1981 throwback jersey .

Kind of strange there seems to be so little interest on Soxtalk but another losing season sort of empties the whole website . Nothing really to talk about except who will be brought up in September and next years team.
