Look at the crowd -- 45,000 every night. How about the history of the stadium, or the history of the Yankees and the guys who played here before you?

| A Joke For All Sox Fans |
| Five Chicago sports fans were climbing a mountain one day. Each was a fan of a different Chicago sports team and each proclaimed to be the most loyal of all fans to their team. As they climbed higher, they argued as to which of them was the most loyal of all. They continued to argue all the way up the mountain. Finally they reached the top. The Blackhawks fan hurled himself off the mountain, shouting, "This is for the Hawks!" as he fell to his doom. Not wanting to be outdone, the Bulls fan threw himself off the mountain, proclaiming, "This is for the greatest team of the 90's!" Seeing this, the Bears fan shouted "This is for DA COACH!!!" as he leapt to his death. The two remaining fans looked at each other in stunned silence. After a minute, the Sox fan bellowed, "This is for everyone on the South Side!" And then he pushed the Cubs fan off the mountain! |
