October 13, 200520 yr This was in the ALCS Game 2 Pregame Gallery on MLB.com. Actor John Cusack gives the thumbs up. I wonder if he carpooled with Jim Belushi? :headshake
October 13, 200520 yr There was a guy selling suite tickets on craiglist for $400. I wonder if he got in through him. JR is a hero for not hooking him up.
October 13, 200520 yr To be fair, Cusack has made it to quite a few Sox games in the past. He was at a handful last year too.
October 13, 200520 yr whatever.. I'm still a fan of Cusak and Belushi, and I dont *hate* the Cubs. (please dont kill me)
October 13, 200520 yr To be fair, Cusack has made it to quite a few Sox games in the past. He was at a handful last year too. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> http://www.suntimes.com/output/sox/cst-nws-nocelebs12.html The Boston Red Sox have actors Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner as fans. The Cubs count Bill Murray and Billy Corgan in their ranks. But at Sox Park, there are virtually no celebrities around, except for Mayor Daley and former Sox minor leaguer (and Bulls great) Michael Jordan. "We don't need celebrities here," Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf said before Tuesday's game. "We have real fans." Reinsdorf is almost militant in that belief. When actor John Cusack reportedly inquired about getting tickets recently, Reinsdorf rejected him. He still remembers when Cusack -- who starred in "Eight Men Out'' about the 1919 "Black Sox'' who threw the World Series -- became the world's biggest Cubs fan during the North Siders' 2003 playoff run. "Cusack used to be a White Sox fan," Reinsdorf said, recalling Cusack coming to the Sox 2000 playoffs. "He showed his true colors. Now that we won, someone on his behalf called my office. I wouldn't give them to him." Let's see. Here's Cusack's history of fandom: 2000: White Sox fan 2003: Cubs fan 2005: White Sox fan Neither team wants you on their bandwagon, Cusack. And take your sister with you. Those U.S. Cellular commercials make me want to slit my throat. I'm glad Reinsdorf told Cusack to F OFF in not so many words. Edited October 13, 200520 yr by SSH2005

October 13, 200520 yr Wow, that's a nice clean sharp Sox cap he's wearing. How DOES he keep his hat so clean after all these years of loyal White Sox fandom?????
October 13, 200520 yr QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 13, 2005 -> 07:41 AM) So he was better off dead, than to ask Reinsdorf for tickets? Plus, it wasn't that JR wouldn't give him the tix. It's that CusacK wouldn't cough up the. . . TWO DOLLARS!

October 13, 200520 yr QUOTE(Texsox @ Oct 13, 2005 -> 08:12 AM) I guess we're seeing his True Colors? He keeps switching sides, he has no Class.
October 13, 200520 yr I understand being a fan of Cusack's, as I am one, and he is a really good actor. But Belushi??? JIM Belushi??? How does one admit to being a fan of his and still hold any dignity???
October 13, 200520 yr QUOTE(shakes @ Oct 13, 2005 -> 10:44 AM) He keeps switching sides, he has no Class. I guess we're saying he isn't America's Sweetheart anymore? And before anyone mentions it, I know it's been One Crazy Summer
