So the stage is set in this historical encounter. Wajah opening, for the first time in his achilleanly glorious career, the world series against big guy from Cuba Jose Contreras and his white sox of bridgeport so get that polish sausage out and spare the ketchup and root root for the white soooox go chi-town 
Let me put it this way... in 1979, before many of you were even conceived, I brought a disco 45 rpm single (I literally got my hands on a copy of Rod Stewart's "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" ... you think I paid money for that?!) and got in the doubleheader at Comiskey Park against the Detroit Tigers for $0.98 -- part of the promotion from The Loop/WLUP's 98FM Disco Demolition night as a card carrying member of Steve Dahl's Insane Coho Lips club.
Steve Dahl was then a young DJ who got booted from WDAI because they switched from a rock to an all-disco format. He since called them "Disco DIE" (they called themselves "Disco DAI" on their air) and started "Disco sucks" chants that started in the winter of 1979 and culminated in this event in July of 1979.
For those who don't know about it, this was easily the biggest moment in Chicago White Sox history of the past 70 years. It was a sort of anti-Woodstock of working class South Side Chicagoans who got fed up with disco music taking over their FM airwaves.
It's the closest experience I've ever had in the U.S. to being at a Rome derby, for example. Was I a huge Sox fan? Moreso in 1977, though this was only my second time at Comiskey Park. Between games, they blew up a giant box of all the collected disco records in the middle of center field and the fans went berserk. After this, the White Sox had to forfeit the second half of the double-header, and it was clear that disco pretty much died in the U.S. from then on.
It was the only time I truly loved "baseball", eventhough baseball historians mark it as one of the worst episodes in MLB history.
