i have to say i was proud of the sox fan representation at great american ballpark last night. i've been to a fair amount of sox roadies, but i've never been to one where our cheers were drowning out the home fans. it was pretty freakin sweet .
thanks for the info heath and welcome.
i'll be there friday. i will second his suggestion of trying the chili. i think they sell gold star in the park, but skyline is my personal favorite.
i played from tee ball through the top level you could play at in the ridge beverly league on the south side. mostly i played second base and shortstop, but at various points through the years i played every position except pitcher (noodle arm).
when i got to high school i decided to focus on wrestling to try to earn a scholarship, and i never played high school ball. to this day that's one of the big regrets i have.
after college i used to play periodically in some pick-up games here and there. i was amazed at how the fundamentals really stuck with me through all those years. it was like riding a bike.
i really wish i got to play more.

Brackins didn't have an offer from Illinois and Boyz to Men is an absolute joke of a school. I would be surprised if it isn't one of the prep schools banned by the NCAA.
it wasn't.

Any reason why the writer, Dave Purpura, sounds familiar? I'm tying him to Soxtalk in my mind.
not that i'd know of. maybe you're thinking tim purpura, the houston gm?
i wasn't sure if this should have been in the long thread, or on futuresox, but i thought it was cool considering the content.
mods can move if need be.
