Has anyone seen Fisk since "welcome back Carlton Fisk Night" on May 22, 2008 ? Fisk has agreed to become a team ambassador and member the White Sox Speakers Bureau, which includes former White Sox stars Minnie Minoso, Ron Kittle, Bill Melton and Bill “Moose” Skowron, and was to make appearances on behalf of the organization.

watchtower41 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 even with the addition of Alexei, that has to be the weakest list of attendees in recent history. Better start lining up early for the inevitable Jerry Owens/Dwayne Wise session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand what you mean. I can only think of 2 Notables not attending Buehrle and AJ Those are the names most fans want to see. Everyone else are just fillers. There will be some interesting seminars next week. I hope everyone questions KW about this payroll situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjm676 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 The lineup sounds great. I would've gone for sure if Buehrle was there. I would've had him sign the Wheaties box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering AJ and Burls are usually there, and looking at the below par list of past players... the list is just not as juicy as it has been in the past several years. No Ventura, Fisk, Hurt (though he hasn't been in sometime), Thigpen, McDowell.... Even with the young prospects/rookies/acquisitions.... Fields, Beckham?, Flowers? Lillebridge? Betemit?

I would've had him sign the Wheaties box. Yeah, but the masterminds who run the operation would probably have scheduled him, Paulie, Ozzie and Jimmy all within 15 minutes of one another making it impossible to get all of their autographs.
