South Side Hitmen: The Story of the 1977 Chicago White SoxBy self admission, the 1977 Chicago White Sox couldn t catch, run, or throw; and only on occasion could they pitch. Some felt unwanted and unloved by past teams. Two were told by skeptics that they didn t even belong on the field. Yet it was these qualities that made them one of the most entertaining teams in franchise history. They didn t bunt to move runners along, steal bases to distract the opposing defense, or turn the double play. They just hit

By self-admission, the 1977 Chicago White Sox couldn t catch, run, or throw; and only on occasion could they pitch. Some felt unwanted and unloved by past teams. Two were told by skeptics that they didn t even belong on the field. Yet it was these qualities that made them one of the most entertaining teams in franchise history. They didn t bunt to move runners along, steal bases to distract the opposing defense, or turn the double play. They just hit and hit until demoralized opponents cried uncle. They didn t win the World Series or even a division title. They couldn t be called champions, but they lived up to another title. They were the South Side Hitmen. Team owner Bill Veeck transformed a hapless 1976 ball club into contenders and big-time draws at the ticket box. New acquisitions Oscar Gamble, Richie Zisk, and Eric Soderholm led the team to a franchise record 192 home runs, while legendary broadcaster Harry Caray led Comskey Park fans through the seventh-inning stretch. The White Sox won 90 games that season (including 22 in an amazing month of July) and finished first in the hearts of baseball fans across the city s South Side."

Noice Lights from Govee!
Item Package Quantity: 2
Worth the investment especially if you have space for them and you have a big TV. I rock with a 75" in my living room. The box has a manual control module with buttons you can press, but this works with Alexa or Google Home via voice command. The Govee app unlocks way more settings and tuning, including what you see here. Super easy to set up the bars and link up everything. Easily worth the money. Brightness can be adjusted, lights are great, and color options (patterns, reactive, rotating, etc.) are fun. Cheers!

Best option for Sim Racing Ambient Lighting
Item Package Quantity: 2
I picked up these Light Bars from Govee specifically for my sim racing setup to be used for ambient lighting, and they’ve exceeded expectations. The RGBIC technology is the standout feature. Being able to display multiple colors on each bar at the same time makes the lighting effects far more dynamic than standard RGB strips. During races, the lighting reacts smoothly to telemetry data—RPM, flags, rev limiter, and speed shifts all translate into immersive ambient effects that genuinely add to the experience. Setup was straightforward, but the real highlight was the seamless SimHub integration. Configuration was quick, and the light bars responded immediately once connected. No complicated workarounds, no lag—just clean, real-time feedback. If you're already using SimHub for dashboards or bass shakers, these integrate perfectly into that ecosystem. Brightness is more than enough for ambient lighting without being distracting, and the diffusion along the 31-inch bars keeps everything looking clean and professional—no visible LED hotspots. The WiFi connectivity has been stable, and the app gives you plenty of customization options outside of racing as well. For anyone building a sim rig and wanting that extra layer of immersion, these are absolutely worth it.

GREAT way to view TV
On initial set up and use of just few days I love this little light bar I'm 74 and I set this up in less than 10 min. Playing with Govee App took about same time for basic functions. The backlighting is great and now my room is lighted during night when I sleepwalk to bathroom. I'll decide later if I want to use adhesive pads. Currently it just sits on TV stand behind TV. All in all it's great! I would definitely buy again and highly recommend. Colors in photos are actually less bright in my room. The Govee App allows many many color variations. Just set up and create color palate for favorite colors and patterns. Eezee Peezee
