SSH2005 Posted February 13, 2006 Author Share Posted February 13, 2006 http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...tesox-headlines Sox visit White House By Mark Silva Washington Bureau  February 13, 2006, 3:27 PM CST  WASHINGTON -- The last time the White Sox had won the World Series -- in 1917 -- Woodrow Wilson was president.  This time, with a former Major League Baseball team co-owner occupying the White House, President Bush welcomed the 2005 World Series champion White Sox to the chandeliered East Room of the mansion today for a long-awaited Washington victory lap.  "After 88 years of waiting, the White Sox have earned the right to be called world champs," said Bush, standing before three rows of 17 players assembled on risers.  "It's a big deal to have you here," said Bush. "Everybody was pulling on the same rope—that's why you're world champs."  Calling it a true team effort that captured the silver trophy resting on a table behind him, Bush suggested that none of the team's players was "off the charts."  Indeed, team General Manager Ken Williams was echoing the president's sentiments as Williams stood outside on the driveway of the West Wing after the brief ceremony, with Williams calling the championship team "regular, grind-it-out type guys who won a championship at the highest level."  Mayor Richard Daley and Illinois' two Democratic senators, Barack Obama and Dick Durbin, sat in the front row of an audience snapping electronic memoirs with tiny digital cameras and cell phones.  Conspicuous for his absence: team manager Ozzie Guillen. But the president brushed off his absence as a much-needed vacation: "I understand Ozzie is on vacation, which I fully understand," said Bush, alluding to the crusty snow on the chilly White House lawn by saying: "He's a Caribbean guy."  Acknowledging some of his Cabinet members in the East Room audience, Bush said: "I thought you told me all you are Red Sox fans... My question to most of these folks is, 'Were you White Sox fans at the beginning of the season?'"  Bush, who was managing partner of the Texas Rangers before he served as governor of Texas, suggested that the Bush family is among the Johnny Came Latelies to the White Sox fan club.  He was getting firsthand reports from the World Series games from his parents in the front row: "I'm not gonna tell you who they were rooting for, but it didn't have much effect on the outcome of the season."  As players and managers filed from the White House to the snowy lawn out front, few seemed to mind that a team that took so long to get here was not everyone's favorite to win the series from the start.  "Obviously, he's a baseball guy," catcher A.J. Pierzynski said of Bush. "A lot of people jumped on the White Sox bandwagon. ... We'll take him. We'll take the president." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 For some reason the bloody video is refusing to play on my computer (realplayer) right now, but C-SPAN has a link up which supposedly runs to the video at that page.
