If Fox Sports can insert simulated fans on their broadcasts and teams can pump fake crowd noise into ballparks, there must be a way to replicate a fireworks display at White Sox Park.
The fireworks tradition former owner Bill Veeck began in 1960 at old Comiskey Park was sorely missing from Saturday’s 10-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins. The Sox pounded five home runs, including two from Leury Garcia and one apiece from Edwin Encarnacion, Eloy Jimenez and James McCann.
The powerball display gave Dallas Keuchel a victory in his Sox debut and washed away the bitter aftertaste of Friday’s 10-5 opening-day loss.
