chisoxgrl Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Does anyone know anything about the upcoming Grinder Bash? It is on May 5th and only for season ticket holders. I am one, and am going, but cannot find anything about it on the SOX site. Does anyone here know anything about it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisoxgrl Posted April 29, 2007 Author Share Posted April 29, 2007 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 06:52 PM) All I know is there are two dates, and if you didn't get one for May, you will be going in August. I got for May, but is it cool? I mean they say you can go to the dugout and on the warning track, and it costs nothing?? Former Sox players will be there? A Sox fans dream to go onto the field!! Is it as good as it sounds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must've been 9 or 10 years old, so this had to have been about 10 years ago. I did exactly everything you mentioned above, and I even took some of the dirt on the infield with me. I stuck it in my pocket and put it in a plastic bag when I got home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I went to one of these last year, it was fun. But I haven't heard anything about this one yet. Is this just for full season holders? Because last year, it was also for lowly split-seasons like me. Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because last year, it was also for lowly split-seasons like me. Anyone know? I'm also a lowly split-season ticket holder and I'm going Sat. afternoon. I know they're doing more of these later in the summer so odds are you're going one of those weekends. When all else fails, call your rep.

I will be there at 5-8 tonight. pretty easy to spot me in the parking lot if you read the car discussion at all, I will be driving my new whip. Hopefully everyone has a great time, ill take advantage of the free beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisoxgrl Posted May 5, 2007 Author Share Posted May 5, 2007 Today was awesome! Grinder Bash was really cool! I thought it would be a group thing, but we were free to roam wherever we wanted. Ron Kittle was there and that was great because he is my friends former Sox guy favorite! The weather held out and the food was good! I found a cool little rock on the warning track:0) Thanks for all the input! It worked out great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
