Having won their first American League Central title since 2008, the Chicago White Sox are calling on their fans to help re-create the atmosphere from that season’s “Blackout” division tiebreaker game.
In a news release Tuesday, the Sox asked fans to wear black to all of the team’s postseason games at Guaranteed Rate Field and said they will distribute 40,000 black “Change the Game” rally towels at the first AL Division Series home game.
That will be either Game 1 on Thursday, Oct. 7, or Game 3 on Sunday, Oct. 10, in the best-of-five series, likely against the Houston Astros.
