greg775 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 (edited) As expected, I see some media are scouring over all the past tweets of the delightful Pope brothers trying to get them canceled. I knew I'd only get two days to enjoy the happy, inspiring, positive coverage of the Pope, his bros, and the great city of Chicago.

caulfield12 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) https://www.ranker.com/list/celebrity-white-sox-fans/pedro-cerrano I remember Michael Clarke Duncan was a huge White Sox fan back in the day. John Cusack was really a Cubs' fan, but everyone got confused after Eight Men Out there for awhile...and he was known to frequent a number of bars on the Southside as well back in the 80's and 90's.

I was told by people in the front office that when the Sox got to the World Series Cusack's representatives basically demanded tickets for him and really pissed off everyone. Those folks who dealt with him directly said he was an ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the Sox don't exactly have a ton of celebrity fans, but this is kind of a weak list IMO. Justin Fields and a few singers make the list because they were invited to throw out the first pitch but who weren't life-long Sox fans, but Michael Clarke Duncan, Bernie Mac, Richard Roeper, George Wendt, Laurie Metcalfe, Jean Shepherd, Richard J. and M. Daley don't make the list? Edited May 13 by 77 Hitmen 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Rita now has the most famous alum or teacher, whatever title you choose in Pope Leo. We have Reilly plus Kevin Cronin, Ed Olczyk, David Diehl, Pete Mackanin, Rico Hill, Michael Massey. That's about it. I'd go with Cronin and Ed as 1-2 in Rice history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

77 Hitmen Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Famous 80s film maker Johh Hughes was a White Sox fan. He reportedly wanted to have that famous Ferris Buehler playing hooky at Wrigley Field scene done at Comiskey Park, but the Sox weren't home when he was in town filming.
