Somehow I've misplaced the Coca-Cola press release I wrote for a 1977 Sox promotion, but it got me into my first Sox home game, That turned a Chicago transplant into an adopted South Sider. The all-hit, no-field Sox is the opposite of the recent post-championship seasons. Not sure the publisher had rights to all the photos here, but they did bring back the era. Some smart commentary at the end about what made the '77 Sox memorable.
