March 6, 200719 yr THIS DATE IN WHITE SOX HISTORY: MARCH 6 WHITE SOX-CUBS: TOGETHER AGAIN 1981: The White Sox and Cubs announced that they will resume their exhibition series the following April. The series, which had been dormant for nearly a decade, would actually resume the following August in the wake of the players strike. The city rivals would play an exhibition game in each Chicago park as a tuneup for the resumption of the “championship” season. The games in 1982 never materialized and the series wouldn’t resume until 1985. BO DOESN’T KNOW FIRST BASE 1993: The White Sox gave Bo Jackson a look-see at first base in a 6-2 Grapefruit League loss to the Texas Rangers in Port Charlotte, Fla. Three quickerrors may have showed the Sox that Jackson was not cut out for infield play. “I knew I stunk out there but I was having fun,” Jackson said in the Chicago Tribune. “I was lucky to get out of there with three errors.” Jackson never played a regular season game at first base in his eight-year career.

March 6, 200719 yr Author QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Mar 6, 2007 -> 04:53 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I love Bo. I do, too. Probably one of the more memorable "short termer" White Sox. Still a beloved figure and welcome at the park. I can't imagine him on the infield though.
