'Last Comiskey' sparks memories of die-hard fan who left us too soon.
Jeff Ponczak was my sports editor at the Daily Illini, a big guy with a huge love for the White Sox, a stinging wit and a sense of the absurd."Amazing Discoveries," which brought us the spectacle of a British pitchman wearing suspenders and a bow tie demonstrating the effectiveness of a car wax by setting a vehicle's hood on fire.
Perhaps he might repeat some of what he wrote in a Daily Illini column in 1990, when he heaped scorn on the bandwagon jumping fans who all of a sudden remembered there was a team on the South Side after the Sox found unexpected success on the field. As 1990 began, I wondered if the Baseball Palace of the World would sing its swan song to an audience of empty seats.
Tony, Ponz and I went to Turn Back the Clock Day, which attempted to give us baseball 1917 style, with vintage uniforms and Gene Honda announcing the players with a megaphone. We did a bit of seat shifting, as Tony remembers it.
