July 19, 200520 yr Someone on here asked about that promotion.....I forget the day but it says on WhiteSox.com that Hanes will be giving them out...
July 19, 200520 yr Oh my god, Mr. f***ing T!!! From whitesox.com: Special Pregame music and celebrities Musician Perry Farrell will perform a 10-minute acoustic set pregame. Actor Mr. T. will toss out a ceremonial first pitch to Hall of Fame catcher and White Sox Team of the Century member Carlton Fisk. Double Tough Sox Night Sponsored by Hanes
July 19, 200520 yr Waving white socks should be a HUGE Sox tradition. Not sure why it never catches on.

In my lifetime I think I've seen them try it like 15 times. It'll be a craze for like 3 games, then it disappears.
July 19, 200520 yr perry farrell playing a sox game? man, those salad days of jane's addiction and pornos for pyros are looking distant.
July 19, 200520 yr QUOTE(joemg311 @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 04:08 PM) They gave out those rally socks on opening day .........and we see how well that went over.
July 19, 200520 yr Its not a White Sox tradition because it would be stealing another teams tradition and then trying to make it our own. Kind of like when different teams use the "Tomahawk chop", or when teams use the "terrible towels". I believe the Twins already have the towels, which look strikingly similar to White Sox. :shrugs: SB

It couldn't be any more right.
July 19, 200520 yr QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 04:05 PM) They handed out Socks in the 2000 playoffs also! They handed out rally socks opening day too... here's the one i got. they should do it weekly.

July 19, 200520 yr QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 03:11 PM) .........and we see how well that went over. Yeah they gave them out and not many people even waved them around at all if i remember correctly. I myself had mine and my buddys on my arms because i made the mistake of wearing short sleeves near the very top of the uperdeck.
July 19, 200520 yr When you look like your biggest competitor, it does not matter what is right or wrong. We would look like imitators. :;shrugs:: And waving towels came from Hockey, not sure which team but a coach put a towel on a hockey stick and started waving it around. The fans then caught on. If you want some sort of thing, why not invent it ourselves, or take from one of our current players. Not use some over done swinging socks and towels around to look like every other team. My opinion of course. SB
July 19, 200520 yr Yeah, but think about how many they'd have to give away to make sure everyone had one at every game. But see if it became a tradition to just show up with one..........

July 19, 200520 yr In the 93 playoffs, I remember Ozzie didnt like the waving socks because you couldnt pick the ball when it was hit if everyone was waving them.
