mreye Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I work across Van Buren from the Board of Trade at One Financial Place. It's the building you go under on Congress that says: "Chicago Stock Exchange." In our court yard we have three flag poles usually flying the US flag, the Illinois state flag and the city of Chicago flag. Right now they are flying the US flag, the state flag and... A SOX FLAG!

RockRaines Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 The security guy looked at me like I was retarded, then he told me that if we ever hit grand slams and dont win again, he is going to take the flag down.
