2011 Tickets – Northside Edition

Not to be outdone, the Cubs have made some changes to their season tickets for the upcoming season.  First is the inclusion of a box to keep the tickets in.  The White Sox have had these for as long as I’ve had the tickets.

Inside the box, the tickets themselves got a bit of a makeover this year.  They are wider and appear to be a bit shorter than years past.  The most exciting thing is the effort put in to each sheet.  No duplicate images this year; each ticket has a distinct photo as opposed to each sheet having the same motiff.

2011 Ticket Design + Other Changes

The White Sox went for a little change in their ticket design for 2011.  I’ve had season tickets since 2005 and they’ve always used basically the same, verticl layout.  This year we’ve got a nice horizontal approach, showing action shots of Matt Thornton, AJ Pierzynski, Alex Rios, Juan Pierre, Mark Buehrle, and Paul Konerko.

Other rumored changes for the upcoming season:

The TBD Sports Bar has been expanded and renamed Comiskey Grill.

The Jim Beam Club is now known as the Home Plate Club.

Connie’s Pizza is out as the official pizza, to be replaced by DiGiorno’s.  As someone who frequents the pizza stand, I’m slightly worried about this change.

Dunn Deal, Pal

Adam Dunn

6 months later, the White Sox finally landed the big left handed bat they were missing last season.  With AJ Pierzynski back in the fold as well, as that is missing is one more bat (PAUL-EE, PAUL-EE) and the offense is set.

Dunn’s career totals in games I have attended:

White Sox win the 2005 World Series

Jenks with a deep breath.  He OKs the sign.  From the stretch, with a runner at second.  Here’s the 1-2 pitch to Palmeiro.  A ground ball, past Jenks, up the middle of the infield.  Uribe has it.  He throws.  OUT!  OUT!  A White Sox winner!  And a World Championship!  The White Sox have won the World Series and they’re mobbing each other on the field.

The celebration is on the mound right now at Minute Maid Park in Houston on Wednesday, October 26th, 2005.  The White Sox have won their first World Championship since 1917.  And the players are absolutley going wild on the infield.  Enjoy the celebration, Chicago.  This is long overdue.

All Time Records (through 2010)

Now that the 2010 season has come to an end, let’s take a look at team’s overall records in games I have personally attended over my entire life.  Every game I can remember or have tracked down is included, even the postseason.  Teams that move (Expos/Nationals), change “city” names (California/Anaheim/Los Angeles Angels) or change team names (Devil Rays/Rays) are split out per incarnation.
