Deep inside the Cold War, a rare White Sox pennant inspired Chicago authorities to make a breathtakingly stupid decision.
This is really wonderful stuff, told with a richness that evokes the particulars of a time and place, with more than a little humor tossed in.
I appreciate the feedback, Brent! This part had a lot of set-up work to do, and I hope you enjoy the pay-off next week just as much.
Brent, I couldn’t have said it better! I just love a double-play! Thanks, Paul for providing that footage; it was so exciting!
Not sure what it says about me that I enjoyed the dancing and the period hats more than the double play, but kudos Meg for appreciating excellent baseball in any era.
Ah, the “Go-Go White Sox” - I missed the festivities, being born six months later, but I did hear the stories about the air raid sirens.
We would love to hear any you remember hearing! Put them in a comment in Part 2.
