JUGGERNAUT Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 (edited) A group of friends & family last night were talking about this as the White Sox were running away with the game last night. What's happened so far is beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous. Up until now the nation has best known our franchise under the label "Black Sox". That infamous title referring to the 1919 team that was found innocent in a court of law but later found guilty by commissioner Landis. If winning in the post-season of 2005 had been boring & absent of controversy it would soon be forgotten & the "Black Sox" legacy would remain in vogue. But now we have more controversy than we ever could have imagined. That's made even bigger than life given that our new hero "AJ" is right at the center of it. Before we could not imagine many books or video's on our run outside of Chicago. Now we can. It's fitting because the one characteristic that drawfs all others on our team is how in less than one year the White Sox changed the mindframe of their team from one that rarely stole a base to one of the best stealing teams in the league. When you add controvery like "How the White Sox stole game 2 of the ALCS" to that story it becomes bigger than life. That's just what we need to get out from under the shadow of the Cubs & begin a new legacy. Thank you 2005 White Sox & most of all AJ for bringing Sox fans more joy than they ever could have imagined from MLB.

Texsox Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 I am waiting for the comparison of Daley stealing the Presidential election for Kennedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
