Hangar18 Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Heres a quick tidbit I thought Id share with everyone. Late afternoon on Saturday, we were driving on the Ryan northbound just past 31st, when to my right, I happened to look over to a guy on my right passing and when I couldve swore I saw a WS Ring on the guys hand (on the steering wheel). Sped up a bit and took a look at the guy, who now took a quick glance to his left, and it was Jermaine Dye! I laughed and gave him the thumbs up, he smiled. I happened to be wearing my SOX jacket, so I pointed to it and he gave us an even bigger smile and nodded his head. Thought that was pretty funny ........

Yeah, the mods over there finally had enough with the media watches and banned me. Supposedly your not supposed to talk about the other team over there (Shhhhh, cubs), but they have a forum specifically designated for talking about the other team there, (and a wildly popular and media-mentioned thread "write your own cubune headline) so I think something else was going on, not sure what, they havnt told me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least here, I can say "Im not feeling so good about the SOX" and have to worry. Back to player sightings, I also remember seeing Robin Ventura walking on Fullerton and Clark with his wife back in 1990 on a saturday morning. I was across the street and heard someone say GO SOX and the guy was pointing to a guy that looked like Ventura when I realized dang, that is Robin Ventura! QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jun 15, 2006 -> 12:21 PM) Inferiority Complex defined. Glad you brought that up. I was watching the game, and DJ was saying how he liked going to Ballpark in Arlington and that it was a really nice park and he really liked the design. Hawk then said yes its very nice, but that he really likes the work done on the Cell. DJ then said YES, he also loves the work theyve done, the bullpens, the green, the work on the roof and bricks. Hawk said The Cell in his mind is one of the nicer parks in baseball now and DJ said he agrees, its alot better than what it was before. Hawk then said he thought the park was "fine" before the renovations, and that the SOX and the park were simply getting maligned on a daily basis in the media and in particular "a couple of guys" back in chicago (referring to columnists/Idiotti) who would everyday blast the park that soon everyone started believing "all of that" about the park (inferiority complex indeed-Sox shouldve ignored everyone I guess?) ..........he then trailed off, as if he were Angry, and DJ came back and said he was right about that, and now at least the SOX have a nice park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in '99 I was able to wait on the entire Sox team. I worked at Fahrenheit (now defunct) on Milwaukee across from the old Iggy's. Was pretty cool. Some of the guys were very friendly but I tried not to act like a tool and ask for autographs and stuff. I played it like I was used to that type of clientele coming in all the time. After the fact, Sirotka and Parque came back a few times and had me wait on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at a game in Toronto in '98 and met Ray Durham in the SkyDome bar. Very cool guy, very funny. Also talked to Herm Schneider for a while... REALLY nice guy. Saw Albert Belle in the lobby afterwards. When he saw my Sox shirt, he gave me a nod. Didn't approach him, though. He is one intimidating dude... and built like a freaking house.

I sent in an "appeal" of sorts to one of the other mods, and he said he tried to get me back, but FWC wouldn't allow it. But like I said, most of the mods are on some crazy power trip lately and ban people for talking about the Cubs even though, like Hangar said, there is a forum especially made for media bias stuff, Cub related stuff, and ridiculous trade rumors. by the way, Hangar I'll shoot you a PM.
