Let’s talk about where the White Sox played their home games. World famous Comiskey Park. Nowadays they play in a new fangled park, right across the street, but you can still visit the site of the original Comiskey Park. There is actually a home plate where the real home plate used to be. You can stand there and imagine you are Shoeless Joe or Buck Weaver!

Okay, Comiskey Park. Built in 1910 it held 32,000 fans in the stands. In 1927 the capacity was increased to 52,000 fans.

The dimensions in 1919 were:
Left Field - 363 ft
Deep Left Center - 382 ft
Center Field - 420 ft
Deep Right Center - 382 ft
Right Field - 363 ft
Backstop - 98 ft
In 1919 the White Sox played 4 World Series games at Comiskey Park. They won Game 3 and lost Game 4, Game 5, and Game 8.

All this talk about the ballpark has my mouth watering for a nice ballpark hot dog. Let’s see… okay, the backstop is behind home plate. Of course, home plate is where the batter stands to hit. Any other words? No. Okay, I’m going to get a hot dog.
