SouthSidePride05 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Does Fox usually show the National Anthem and Starting Introductions for the League Championship Series games, or is that just for the World Series? ..What's everyone's predictions on who will sing the Anthem? I'm guessing Fox will probably want their American Idol winner, Carrie Underwood, to sing it once. Who else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also has done them for White Sox games. And Blackhawks games (which would resonate with White Sox fans). And Wolves games. And Bulls games. See what I'm saying? He's a local celebrity, a gunshot survivor and a damn good singer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 How about the first pitch? Any word on that, anyone? I am personnally very surprised that Hizzoner hasn't thrown one out yet. Maybe for the WS, if we get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope there's not many Cub fans there. Who in their right mind would spend over $100 for a White Sox playoff game if you're a Cub fan? I'm sure for some people that's pocket change, so it's no big deal. Hopefully the crowd is as loud and crazy as the ALDS. Whoever sang the Anthem on July 20th needs to sing for the ALCS or WS. She wasn't famous, but she belted out the anthem better than anyone I've heard. Gave me chills, it was that good! Anyone know who she is?

AddisonStSox Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Just for tonight, those at USCF should adopt the Blackhawk Anthem introduction. That would really f*** up Fox's hopeful cuddily east coast viewing audience. Welcome to the Southside. Let it chew you up and spit you out.
