thedoctor Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 last year a day or two after the world series i'm still walking around on cloud nine, just looking for someone to talk sox with. so i'm standing around campus on an assignment and i see this older guy walk by with a sox hat on. i'm like "dude, how about those sox! champions! how awesome is that!" he's like: "oh, i just liked the hat. i got it at tj maxx." ugh.

WCSox Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 QUOTE(NYSox35 @ May 8, 2006 -> 03:23 PM) Orland Park isn't very shocking...although I hear there is a big Cub presence out that way, which is annoying. Well, there's a big Cub presence in all of Chicago's suburbs. Orland Park might have more Sox fans per capita than any other suburb, though.

rowand's rowdies Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 (edited) orland is a huge sox town, although there are some cubs fans. i think though a lot of OP sox fans are converts. in michigan, there are a lot of cubs fans, but a solid amount of sox hats, think its more for show. they love the D troit hats of course, and all have raging boners over the tigers. i remind them every day that the last winning season was in 1993.

Baines3 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 In San Antonio, baseball isn't mentioned much. They just show the Rangers & Astros scores and now the Florida Marlins as the city is trying to lure the Marlins from Miami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 QUOTE(TLAK @ May 8, 2006 -> 07:42 PM) Probably one hat that they pass around. So that's where my other hat went. Makes sense I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatballhitdeep Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 There are only 3 Sox fans that I know of in Oklahoma City...me, my brother and a collegue at work. We wear the sox gear with pride, we always have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullcollapse Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 mostly twins fans here, then probably cubs and yankees then maybe st. louis. not too many sox fans around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExpatNYC Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Every time I think I have a handle on this question I see something that confuses the hell out of me. During the Series last year, I saw tons of Sox gear, even exchanged a handful of "Go Sox!" chants with pedestrians in my Brooklyn neighborhood (and these are people who recognize my 1983 cap). But lately it's been only sporadic sightings, usually on young guys who couldn't possibly be from Chicago. Maybe they're just bowled over by the undeniable awesomeness of our team. By the way: if you don't have MLB Extra Innings, Hooters Times Sq. has thirty-some screens and will happily turn to the game you ask for if the ESPN Zone isn't playing what you want.

maggliopipe Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I've only lived in New Hampshire for a couple months, but I think I'm the only person I've seen wearing anything other than BoSox s***. I was home (Oswego) this past weekend and couldn't believe how many cars now have White Sox bumper stickers and license plate holders. I hardly ever saw White Sox stuff before the Series, it was all Scrubs s***. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuck here in the Twin Cities, you see Twinkies stuff when they're winning. I have seen alot more SOX stuff this year. These people still wear there Vikings stuff in the off-season. it seems like there is always a good amount of sox fans at the games there. one year we sat next to some sox fans and got a good magglio chant going.

Sox Machine Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 There's no Sox presence in upstate NY, aside from the stickers on my car. Cooperstown's stores didn't have much Sox stuff beforehand, but that changed after they won the Series. Not just because it's the Hall of Fame, but because that's where every Sox fan within two hours went to get their championship stuff. No other stores had them.

Drew Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 In LA/SFV, it is: Mostly Dodgers Red Sox and Yankees in a dead heat a few Angels some Cubs a whisper of White Sox and maybe one or two Padres We represented pretty well at Angel Stadium. I was at Dodger Stadium for the Furcal/Lee collision, and it was pretty much a home game for the Cubs, idiotic drunkard fans cheering for a game Little Leaguers could have taken from the Dodgers when their five-tool All-Star leaves the game hurt. There is a guy I've seen tooling around Burbank in some little red rust-bucket sedan with the navy and white Red Sox B painted on the hood. And there was the kid I waited on a couple of months ago who had a red B tattoo that took up his entire triceps. Maybe that's his car. Eh well, better them than the Yankees.
