It would also be a nice gesture to memorialize Bobby too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He deserves both imo To save money, Reinsdorf will commission a statue of Manager Ozzie fielding a ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palehose1 Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Episode 4 is the best. Lots of very emotional moments & new insights. I see why they waited to release this episode until after the reunion weekend as it included sme of the festivities including the emotional toast to Bobby Jenks. I can't believe it only has 11K views on Youtube If you are over 25 and a White Sox fan its must see TV?!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Knowing my history, a few people have asked me recently if I’ve been watching any of the 2005 reunion stuff. I realized I haven’t watched a game in weeks nor have I’ve watched any of these videos. I sometimes can’t believe how much this franchise killed my fandom. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

77 Hitmen Posted October 17 Share Posted October 17 I'm a day late on this, but yesterday was the 20th anniversary of the White Sox winning the AL pennant. It seems like only yesterday and seems like ancient history at the same time to me. https://www.mlb.com/video/white-sox-win-al-pennant-c19971067 I guess we're now half way to a third consecutive 40+ year pennant drought. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said only with a Sean Penn "Fast Times at Ridgemont High/Lockjaw" accent. (All Sox fans that haven't played MLB should just not bother to show up at games.)

How much of a troll do you have to be to roll into a thread celebrating the 20 year anniversary of the WS victory, and start babbling your "White Sox sux" BS? You literally have thousands of strings here to whine about how the White Sox aren't dominating baseball, and you choose a celebration of 2005 to complain? My 43-year-old brother died 6 years before this, and the World Series was a very emotional catharsis for my family. Everything isn't about you. I guess I'm making this about me. Sorry.

WhiteSox2023 Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 Agreed. 2005 was the one thing this team and owner got right. I have every DVD about the 2005 team. They are actually pretty cheap now if anyone wants to buy them now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestEddy Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 I really try to shut up about the Cubs 2016 Championship. We all have family members and friends whose Parents lived for that moment, so we shut up. It's sacred. 2005/2016. b**** about other s%*#. Seriously, those years are sacred for baseball fans in Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestEddy Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 (edited) I mean, really. Katrina happened. My father-in-law died. The things that happened around Katrina will be discussed in historical takes of this time. My wife's family watched the TV in the hotel outside of Baltimore as they dealt with their father's demise. We got a stray cat at that time. We called him Mr. October. Edited October 18 by WestEddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody's memories of that event are going to be diminished by someone joking about an overall historic record of futility...that's also part of what made waiting for decades and even centuries in the case of some families so special and so unique. Heck, it's also part of the badge of courage of Sox fandom to refer to the bittersweet 1967 four team ending, 1977/Disco Demolition/Bill Veeck, 1983, 1990, 1993-94, White Flag, 2000, 2003, almost every memory a Sox fan over the course of their lifetime is somehow associated more with cruel and seemingly unfair defeat, and not the 41 AL pennants of the Yankees. Sox fandom has been the very antithesis of that...and that's also part of why discovering the Pope was a long-suffering Sox fan has also particularly resonated with those who find comfort in religious faith and with the timeless story of Job in the Bible. Heck, even today fans a full two decades later will recall someone on death's door who didn't quite make it see the last out of 2005 and perhaps share pictures of funeral markers with references to how important their Sox fandom was in providing adfitional meaning to their life. Others will reminisce while fondly watching 2005 highlights, just to make the last three years of suffering easier to bear. All those family members who grew up with the standard of greatness, pride and professionalism set by the Minosos, Pierces, Foxes and Aparicios of franchise history would be rolling in their graves today if they knew what a punchline that team has unfortunately become in the sports world.
