Today in White Sox History: March 17
The Baseball Palace of the World began construction 110 years ago today.
Speedy delivery: A ballpark in three months? Sure thing, Sox fans.
1910
Construction began at 35th & Shields on the stadium that would eventually be called Comiskey Park. The stadium would be completed by late June and officially open on July 1 with a 2-0 loss to the St. Louis Browns. Think about that one … a new steel stadium in a little over three-and-a-half months!
