...impact of the Belle signing has already been felt in the White Sox ticket office, where the phones have been ringing off the hook. Last year only 21,220 fans a game came to the new Comiskey Park to watch the Pale Hose futilely chase the Indians. Reinsdorf had the Big Hurt, Thomas, at first base, and a bigger hurt in the empty upper deck. The best team in the history of basketball was not enough for him. "My first love is baseball," he says.
