For f***'s sake, Ozzie, Beckham, Pods and Frank are on the team payroll. Colson Montgomery and Noah Schultz will have to carry the entirety of SoxFest on their shoulders, because I don't think the other prospects will have endeared themselves at all to fans since their rises were during last year's horror show.

I dunno, it seems like a pretty good lineup. Who actually wants Ozzie? He might spit on me.
January 10, 20251 yr Only three from the World Series is a shame, but it is not surprising. I would never expect Ozzie come, 2005 is fading away. Of course, younger fans know nothing about it. The record losing season is overshadowing everything.

I wouldn't mind getting a picture with Wolcow just because I'd look like a child next to him...a balding child that is. Edited January 11, 20251 yr by wegner
January 11, 20251 yr Doesn’t seem like a big enough space for a convention, but they did a nice job on the remodel.

Of course, younger fans know nothing about it. The record losing season is overshadowing everything. The guy does the postgame show, along with Frank and Podsednik. Pretty sad that the Sox couldn’t get them to go. Hell, they couldn’t even get Bacon to go.
January 11, 20251 yr I have seen all of the ex-Sox players over the years so I am more excited about seeing some of the prospects for the first time. I hope Wolkow goes. That would be awesome. Edited January 11, 20251 yr by tray

January 12, 20251 yr I was wondering if he will be there on Saturday, that is all.. He is a local kid that I have been excited to have as part of the WSox org. and hope to meet him.

I assumed he would be there every day considering the footnote that Buehrle will only be there one day.

Drawing a logical conclusion? Thanks, haha. I just assumed by reading the release that everyone listed would be attending both days of SoxFest, considering there is a footnote that says only Buehrle will be attending the first day and not Saturday.

Having to defend low turnout from 2005 WS guys, Robert, Benintendi...they did get all their key players from the Crochet trade and the majority of top prospects at least.
