“Last Comiskey” is a new book that celebrates the final surprising season of the “Baseball Palace of the World” - Comiskey Park in 1990. Comiskey Park was the Chicago White Sox home from 1910 until 1990, meeting the wrecking ball in 1991. The book, by first-time author Ken Smoller, is from Eckhartz Press. The book’s Foreword (the book’s so-called “First Pitch) is by Ozzie Guillén, one of the most important figures in the history of the team and who was on the field for the last season of the celebrated ballpark.
This book is a companion piece to the 2023 documentary, “Last Comiskey” by Matt Flesch. Tom Shaer, longtime Chicago sportscaster and Emmy Award winner, served as Senior Editorial Consultant on the “Last Comiskey” book. The project initially started as a diversion for first-time filmmaker Flesch during the Covid-19 pandemic. As the producer, writer and director of the film, Matt created a documentary that captures all the key moments from Comiskey’s final season, including the surprising pennant chase by the young underdog White Sox who had future stars like rookies Frank Thomas and Robin Ventura, emerging ace Jack McDowell and a very young and raw Sammy Sosa in his third MLB season.
The young team was anchored by veteran leaders Carlton Fisk and Guillén and a record breaking season by closer Bobby Thigpen, who set the all-time single season save record with 57. The film features interviews with many of the 1990 players as well as media, vendors, security guards, executives, legendary organist Nancy Faust and lifelong fans.
The backbone of the film are home movies, stories, and photographs from fans. One of those contributors was Ken Smoller, a photographer and writer who is the founder of the sports travel website site Stadium Vagabond. Ken took thousands of images during Comiskey’s final season and its last decade. Most of these photographs have never been seen by the public and, instead, were in boxes of 35mm film negatives for decades.
