$10,000 “investment,” but some have noted its limiting participation from lots of other fans.

I guess it’s a little bit reminiscent of that Alex and Ursula Snelius reading over many seasons...obviously a huge difference in the amount of money involved. 
 

The next George from Windy City Limousine?   Impossible!   More like the next Pete Vukovich...

I got a chuckle out of this story when I saw it but I understand the argument of it taking away the opportunity from other fans...For example.  I'd rather see past season all star fans out there like mustard guy and the person that brought that dog to dog day that was as big as a horse.

So I guess I'm actually warm to the idea. 

They cost $50 per so "only" a 5k donation on his behalf. It blows for other people that may have been on the fence and didn't get one, but as the old saying goes, you snooze you lose.

All the money went to White Sox charities. It's cool  and probably a tax write off too. The end. No controversy here.

Aha, saw other teams were charging $99....half that amount seems a bit more reasonable, somehow.

Why would the Sox put a limit on the number of seats available?  If more  people are willing to pay, why tell them no?

Likeliest answer: there was a finite window of time to QA each photo, process the orders, have a print shop produce them, and install said cutouts during a timeframe that didn’t have them around the players (to conform with the league’s CoVID protocols).

Ithink they are taking them down after the 1st homestand and letting whoever wants them get them back ? Maybe they just do it over and over all season.

Doesn’t seem fair to only get three games when some home stands are going to be 6-9 games?

Guess there are bigger issues in the world than equity in charitable cardboard cutout displays...
