Same but that would put me at about 6 years old.

Since 1981 when I was 8 years old and my dad took me to old Comiskey for a game.

I have a picture of me at 3 years old taking a sip of beer from my Dads cup at 3 years old in 1977 at Comiskey, so pretty much since birth :)

Old man :D

 

I would have to say my whole life, but I really started paying attention and caring around 97 or 98 (when I was 12 or 13).

I would like to say since birth, but my family erroneously tried to force feed me the Cubs. 11 years of not caring about sports came to a screeching halt when I went to a Sox/Indians game in 1990, when all the sudden it clicked and I liked baseball, especially the White Sox.

Since birth, my dad and his dad are long-time Sox fans, I was never given a choice in the matter. :gosox1:

When I was a baby, my uncle would watch Sox games with me and whisper in my ear "Cubs Suck, Cubs Suck". Then my mom made him change it to Cubs Stink, but I think i got his point. So i started to be a Sox fan when I was a baby.

:lolhitting

since my first game which was the last game at old comiskey....so lets see that would make me about 4 years old.......

 

Many a brawl with my older brother the scrubs fan ensued.....

 

but seriously I was born with a pale hose on my willy.......

I'm another one born into it. There are pictures of me with my Dad at games from maybe '74 but I can't really recall going to games until '77 when I was 9-10. That was a good year to become White Sox-aware, and that being such a great season (until August at least) pretty much sealed the deal.

my whole life.. My Grandfather liked to do things differnt from his older brother who was a cub fan .. The rest is history....

Since early 80's...Thank Budda I had an uncle who was a sox fan.. most of my family are cubs fans..

 

On a side note, my little nephew who was born a month ago, I already streching his arm out to be the next great LHP for the Sox.. My sister and mom think I am nuts.

The first season i remember was '93 (i was 7 at the time).

Then i really didn't become a MAJOR fan of the team till late '01. For whatever reason, i just got into them. I was still a very casual fan of the sox in the 90s, just didn't watch every game.

Its funny. I was thinking about this topic this morning. I can't remember any talk about the "other team" when I was growing up. Our whole family were Sox Fans and I dont' remember my dad or grandma (she has been a dir hard for 93 years) ever mentioning anyone but the Sox. So for me 37 years.. Since 1967

1959. I remember watching TV during the World Series and seeing Ted Kluzewski homer, one of two he hit in game one and the Sox won 11-0.

 

Nellie Fox was my hero and my first little league baseball glove was a Nellie Fox model.

Roughly 1990, give or take a year or two. Started watching baseball in 89, watched mainly Cubs games because that was what was on WGN, was watching Sox games instead a year later. Plus, we lived a lot closer to Comiskey, so that helped in seeing a bundle of games every year

 

Given that I was 9 at the time, that pretty much means my whole life.

My dad was a die hard sox fan--when i came home from the hospital after birth, he already had me wearing a Sox shirt!

But i started watching when i was 8 in 1988.

i started playing baseball in 1991

the first week of the offical season i became a white sox fan after seeing a game on TV

 

being from califiornia, its kinda odd for me to pick the sox, but how could i not

 

havent been a fan since... i was 7 years old at the time

Since I was born. It's in my family's blood. Both of my parents are South Side Irish. I had no other choice :D
