Last of the series from the July 17th Chicago Tribune by Tim Bannon "Artifact checking: Blackhawk's puck is missing, but Chicago has plenty of sports relics to cherish."
15.. FINAL OUT BACK
On Oct. 26, 2005, at Minute Maid Park in Houston, with the White Sox leading 1-0 in the 9th, reliever Bobby Jenks faced Orlando Palmeiro with two outs and an Astro runner on second. In a 1-2 count, Palmeiro hit a slow roller to shortstop Juan Uribe who charged it and threw to first, setting off a big on-field celebration.
At auction, Harry Caray's bought Palmeiro's bat for $18,400 and has it at their Navy Pier restaurant. Palmeiro reportedly donated the proceeds to charity.
16. KANE'S MOUTHGUARD
Chicago doesn't have the puck from Game 6 of the Stanley Cup championship, but Harry Caray's does have Kane's mouthguard he was wearing on the shot, or, actually it should be said he was chewing at the time.
The puck went in so fast, hardly anyone knew it except Kane.
After the team's returned, Kane's parents donated the mouthguard to Harry Caray's which has it at their Navy Pier location.
Getting Hungry for Harry's. reckon I will Not Try to See Kane's Mouthguard Until I Finish Eating. Yuck, --DaCoot
