They Almost Got Me
1973 was my second year of true baseball awareness, and I was still a Mets fan (you can read all about their betrayal at this link.
Anyway, in '73 the White Sox were still wearing their reds, and something about that brilliant red and snow white that caught my eye.
And if that wasn't enough, there were light blue away uniforms with that bright red on them in the little subtle outline of white almost sealed the deal. I almost became a White Sox fan.
On top of that, for Easter 1973, I got a Dick Allen baseball bat. I loved that bat, and it was almost the last straw to pull me over.
