Figured it would be fun for the board to share their White Sox memorabilia collections with other members. So here’s a thread to talk the collecting side of baseball.

Some of my best memories as a kid center around when the Sox would come to Anaheim to play the Halos. My Dad would take off from work and make sure we saw every series. We’d hang out before and after each game to get players autographs when they were entering / leaving the stadium.

Most of that stuff is in storage so I can’t post any pictures. Instead, I recently decided to start collecting Sox hats. Here’s the result of my first buy. 😆

In the corner are two of my favorite items we got signed when I was a kid… a Rawlings Big Stick professional model bat and a fitted hat both signed by Frank Thomas. At the time, I didn’t even reach his waist line. 😆

I have far too many White Sox hats and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I'll buy one I like from 47 and give the box to my son or wife and they will give it to me for birthdays, fathers day, Christmas....I'm happy and by the time I get it I usually forgot what I ordered.

My favorite memorabilia came from my fiancee at the time...Minnie Minoso had visited the law firm she was working at and she got a signed autograph dedicated to me. She said he was the nicest man.

Awesome to hear the Minoso story!

I would like to see other White Sox collections. My White Sox mancave was featured a few years ago in Sports Collectors Digest and Sports Collectors Dailey.
