April 11, 200916 yr Last night the Sox played a video tribute to Joe Crede on the CF video board. I was hoping they would show it on comcast, like they usually do with stuff like that. But that did not happen. Does anyone have a link or video of the tribute they could post?
April 11, 200916 yr That was a classy move by the organization. I wonder how many teams would have done that? Maybe some others, maybe not.
April 11, 200916 yr That was a really cool video. I hope that he realizes that he'll pretty much always be known as a White Sox wherever he goes post Minnesota.

The Sox have come a long way since the Carlton Fisk incident of '93. Big ups to them for giving Joe a fitting thank-you.

I was in Anaheim for Erstad's first game back with the Sox........the ovation was great, but no video I can recall, and he did at least as much the Angels as Crede did, plus the Angels are a first class organization with loyal fans, so the JC vid is very respectable move
April 12, 200916 yr Awesome video. Awesome player. My two favorite memories of Joe are in that video. The JOEEEE CREEEDEEE call at the end of that game vs. The Indians in 05, and his home-opener grand slam from last year (My first home opener and Joe brought us the victory).
April 12, 200916 yr Off topic, but when the screen went to a live shot of Crede stretcbing, he looked like he was stretching his back and grimacing a bit

The fact that he's with the Twins has already set in with me, but some moments in that video made it sting like when I first found out he signed with them. I was so happy to see that Indians walkoff as its one of my favorite regular season moments ever. Some of my other favorite moments in that video were the shots of him taking the team picture with the trophy and ofcourse the ending with Hawk put the great finishing touches. They gave him a louder ovation when they were announcing the lineups at the stadium when he was stretching than when he came up to bat. I can't wait for him to go to a different team so he can be in a different jersey, which if he stays healthy and has a good season, will happen.
April 12, 200916 yr Crede was like the Sox rock star with his grungy good looks but quiet demeanor. Any player who spent nine yrs with the Sox with as many good moments as he had derserves the love.
April 12, 200916 yr I was going to send Brooks an e-mail suggesting the white sox open up a youtube account and post their "in stadium" videos on there. Anyone want to do that instead? Maybe someone who is a little more articulate than I.
April 12, 200916 yr QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 11, 2009 -> 11:07 PM) Perhaps they can't because of music licensing. thought crossed my mind, but it doesnt hurt to ask.
April 12, 200916 yr They should have shown the double to bring in Ozuna, they should have shown the great plays at 3B in game 1 of the WS, the bouncer up the middle that scored Rowand to untie the clinching game in the ALCS... I was glad, however, they showed the home run against Cleveland. I really think if we lost that game we wouldn't have even made it to the playoffs... Maybe the second most clutch player in White Sox history behind Harold Baines? Edited April 12, 200916 yr by JohnCangelosi
April 13, 200916 yr That was a very nice video. I was at one of his first games back in 2000. I can't believe that nine years have passed. We have really been spoiled with great defensive 3b the last 20 years.

During stretching there wasn't a whole lot of people in the stadium yet :-/
