October 6, 200520 yr Tomorrow we're going to see shots of Ben and Stephen King and Robert Redford and a bunch of different celebs and it got me wondering. Who we got? Mayor Daley. Although having the mayor of the city your from isn't really a celeb. Although in a split city I guess it could be. And it's cool having him. I don't even know any other ones. Do we at least have the person most likely to be bigger than Oprah in 5 years, Kanye West? Anybody famous from Chicago that I can think of is a Cubbies fan. I suppose that helps out their careers more than wearing a Sox cap.
October 6, 200520 yr Take it for what its worth, but the 2005 Chicago White Sox DO have the Rex Kickass seal of approval.
October 6, 200520 yr Bernie Mac is a big sox fan... ... Fox (the network for whom he works) made him sing the 7th inning stretch on a Fox broadcast at Wrigley one day. He refused to sing "root root root for the cubbies" Also, I swear I saw Carl Lewis at a home game earlier this year in a sox jersey
October 6, 200520 yr Yup, I saw Carl Lewis too. Jenny McCarthy is a big Sox fan, and I remember reading when they asked Kanye West Sox or Cubs, he said "Sox."
October 6, 200520 yr QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 08:33 AM) Seriously, who doesn't like George Wendt? I don't like Wendt. He was funny as Norm, but he has always come across as a jerk in interviews.

October 6, 200520 yr QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 08:52 AM) Michael Jordan is often seen in a White Sox Suite!!! he was there yesterday. Bernie Mac is a fan too.
October 6, 200520 yr QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 09:39 AM) That's a pretty sad list... With Picasso, Roseannes TV sister, Ray f***in' Rayner, and the guy who wrote A Christmans Story?!? I THINK NOT!!!

Fox (the network for whom he works) made him sing the 7th inning stretch on a Fox broadcast at Wrigley one day. He refused to sing "root root root for the cubbies" if memory serves me right this wasn't just any game, I believe it was the Bartman game, and he's now part of the curse because Cubs fans think he's part of it since it was a Sox fan singing the 7th inning stretch. You could tell Mac wasn't thrilled to be doing it and I think he might have said something weird during it. If the Sox go deeper you will see a lot of mugging for the camera.
