July 9, 200520 yr This is from Scott Reifert, Sox' vice president of communications: http://whitesoxpride.mlblogs.com/ Before today's game, Mark Buehrle, Scott Podsednik, Jermaine Dye, Cliff Politte, Juan Uribe and Tadahito Iguchi all posed for a photo spread on the White Sox in an upcoming edition of ESPN The Magazine. Each photo depicts a current Sox player in a setting from one our club's marketing promotions. Pods and Buehrle are in Go-Karts on the Pontiac Fundamentals Deck, while the other four are dressed as Beatles from the Sgt. Pepper album cover. Dustin Hermanson is currently posing as Elvis. Tomorrow, Paul Konerko and his two dogs will be photgraphed sitting in the stands, Aaron Rowand, his daughter and some kids will take a shower on the outfield concourse and AJ Pierzynski will help some senior Sox fans -- including a few celebrities -- around the bases. Look for the shots in an upcoming edition of the mag. EDIT: Reading this guy's blog from time to time, it's safe to say this guy has one of the coolest jobs ever.

July 9, 200520 yr QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 10:23 AM) Where was that at? I shouldn't have said pics. IT was video on Comcast, or maybe ABC 7 news.

Hermy is Evlis -- We have an elvis night Kong with his dogs -- We have a dog day Pierz helping old people around the bases -- We have a geriatrics roam the infiled day. (This was called aquiring Robby Alomar the last two years)

July 9, 200520 yr QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 10:10 AM) Konerko should be running the bases with the older people. The rest of MLB does not need to see that some octogenarians can beat Kong around the bases in a race.

July 9, 200520 yr QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 01:50 PM) BEST.PROMO.EVAR! I think the adult audience would love that. A lot more people would show up simply because she is 100X's hotter than Mia Hamm.
