The first round of the abbreviated City Series between the Cubs and White Sox on Tuesday and Wednesday coincides with the start of Bears training camp, a Bermuda Triangle of madness for the Chicago media. Which way to go? PWSullivan’s column.
A Sox spokesperson told the Chicago Sun-Times the bell “is designed to be a fun interactive for fans to weigh in on the age-old condiment debate in Chicago over toppings for hot dogs.”
Before the first Cubs-Sox game, on June 16, 1997, at what was then called new Comiskey Park, Cubs reliever Turk Wendell said the co-mingling of the two leagues proved “the power of the almighty dollar.” Wendell insisted he liked the game better “the way it was supposed to be played, 127 years ago.” “They’re very enthusiastic fans,” Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf said of the Cubs’ crowd. “Sox fans are more demanding. They’re more knowledgeable about the game. They don’t like to watch bad baseball.”Players noticed the difference in intensity, and some wondered where Sox fans had been all year until that week.
The Sox won the series 2-1. Cubs manager Jim Riggleman conceded afterward it would be difficult for their fans to live it down.
