Event Description

Last Comiskey is a 2023 American documentary directed by independent filmmaker Matt Flesch. Flesch's film chronicles the surprising 1990 Chicago White Sox and the final season played at Comiskey Park.

In early 2020, with the world locked down due to Covid, Arlington Heights resident Matt Flesch capitalized on the growing popularity of Zoom to interview White Sox players from the 1990 season as well as media personalities, vendors, security guards, fans and many others who worked, played and attended games at Comiskey Park. He also crowd sourced many hours of home video taken by fans who lugged their old camcorder to the ballpark. The project – once conceived to be a 20-minute video reflecting on the old ballpark – snowballed into a full blown documentary.

Join us for a screening of the film. A conversation and audience Q&A with director Matt Flesch and former White Sox pitcher Donn "The Pope" Pall will follow. Register with a guest.
