Chicago White Sox - "Bat Day with Bobby Bonds" (Promo, 1978)

Here's a Chicago White Sox promo for White Sox / Coca-Cola Bat Day on Sunday, April 9th at (the original) Comiskey Park, during the White Sox vs. Boston Red Sox matchup. Featuring Bobby Bonds (whose son, Barry Bonds, later became a home-run legend himself) with a young fan.

"If you're one of the first 15,000 kids under 14, and accompanied by a paid adult, you will get a Bobby Bonds-style Little League bat - just like this one, compliments of Coke and the White Sox."

(NOTE: The White Sox were shut out by the Red Sox, 5-0, on the day in question.)

This aired on local Chicago TV on Friday, April 7th 1978.
