As an avid White Sox fan since childhood, Chicagoland photographer Joe Ruffalo first found inspiration to pick up a camera in 2002 after attending his first game at the age of six. Since then, Joe has continued to attend several games every year in an ongoing effort to capture the organization and document its significant moments. With a goal of one day working for the Chicago White Sox, Joe continues following his passion in hopes of bringing fans closer to the game through all of his work.

Hate to see Steve Dahl here. Disco Demolition was a disgrace and he made it worse.
