I don't remember Disco night, but I certainly remember the Indians "10 cent beer" night promotion, which I think took place with Veeck as the owner of the Indians. I remember that game was forfeit to the Rangers after rioting fans swarmed onto the field. I looked up their Disco night which was indeed Veeck's idea and the riotous mobs at that promotion were similar, and caused the Sox to forfeit the second game of the doubleheader.Rock » 15 Jun 2022, 10:01 am » wrote: ↑ Wasn't Veeck responsible for Disco Night at Comisky Park? That turned into a disaster. And you're right about Charley Finley and his orange balls (Donald Trump's testicles, lol). I remember when he had that idea. Made sense to me. BTW have you heard of the minor league team Savannah Bananas? They're supposed to be a fun team.
Veeck was also know for his wild uniform designs of the White Sox as well They once wore shorts as their uniform bottoms, and I remember that unique uniform style was ranked as the ugliest uniform ever, and I think they kept it for two years.
I never heard of the Savannah Bananas, but I think they were an independent, that is having no affiliation with a major league team.
