Coca - Cola Presents Chicago White Sox Collector Pin #5, 1977 South Side Hitmen

Description

The summer of 1977. It seemed as though every night on the South Side was the Fourth of July. The White Sox really lit up the sky with a club record 192 home runs, earning them the nickname :South Side Hit Men:. The fireworks technician really earned his money that year. And the fans really had a ball. This was the year they first began singing the "Na, Na, Hey Hey" chant that has become a Comiskey Park hallmark.
The club was led by Oscar Gamble, Richie Zisk,  and Eric Soderholm. As late as August, they were in first place with a five game cushion. They ended up in third place. But, oh, how they could massacre that ball! And the sparks sure did fly!
