October 24, 200916 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 23, 2009 -> 07:41 PM) I was there as well. Sitting Jumping up and down in the stands watching a world series winner in Chicago was one of the most memorable moments of my life. Edited October 24, 200916 yr by southsideirish71
October 24, 200916 yr I love that video. That was probably the coolest moment of my White Sox fandom. What a moment! This is another clip. Pretty good. Edited October 24, 200916 yr by BigEdWalsh
October 24, 200916 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 23, 2009 -> 07:43 PM) "No way" That's Podsednik. I still can't believe that happened.
October 24, 200916 yr Tears in my eyes. Most exciting baseball moment ever. Lost my voice within 15 seconds after he hit that. Loudest scream I've ever made.

October 24, 200916 yr QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 23, 2009 -> 06:17 PM) That's Podsednik. I still can't believe that happened. Same night.
October 24, 200916 yr The wife and I were about 10 rows away from where Paulie's ball landed. Best. Game. Ever. Nothing comes close. Thanks for posting the video.
October 24, 200916 yr Goosebumps still. Best thing is remembering back to that time and recalling that Paulie's wife had just had their baby, and Paulie put it all in perspective by asking how many people in the world can say that hitting a grand slam in the World Series was the second best thing that happened to him that week. :headbang
October 24, 200916 yr That entire month was something to behold. That's why I'll never hold it against anyone that probably overrates or holds on a wee bit too tightly to any member of that team. Will probably never see anything like that again (sorry to say).
October 24, 200916 yr QUOTE (rockren @ Oct 23, 2009 -> 08:28 PM) Easily my all-time favorite baseball moment that, but buerhle's perfect game is a very close second
October 24, 200916 yr QUOTE (LZPride08 @ Oct 24, 2009 -> 02:36 AM) that, but buerhle's perfect game is a very close second as awesome as the WS moments are. I always get giddy watching El Duque pump his chest, point up to the sky, run to the mound and deal. Sick
October 24, 200916 yr I was on the other side of the park that night. Definitely still get goosebumps. Amazingness.
October 24, 200916 yr QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 24, 2009 -> 12:37 AM) Will probably never see anything like that again (sorry to say). I sure as heck hope we don't. That would mean waiting 88 years between championships.
October 25, 200916 yr I remember watching playoff teams, and seeing them get a base hit, and steal, and then hit the runner home. And I would think, my god, this is why the white sox will never win in the playoffs. They can't execute like these teams. (not small ball) But then we get into the playoffs and executed so much, so beautifully. Honest to God thinking about it makes me heavy, sports are so wonderful. We executed a flippin suicide squeeze in the playoffs to seal a victory (well, cap it off.) But my god my anxiety was so high in the playoffs and we went 11-1 ahahaha. I remember skipping all my classes after the angels loss. And I had a german test at nine am after we won the world series, going in very drunk and hadn't slept all night. I assure you, that story is special because I never did stuff like that. (got an A)
October 25, 200916 yr I still get the chills from watching that video, seeing it in person though is something that i will never forget. Those were two memorable homeruns.
October 27, 200916 yr I was so lucky to be able to work for the team that year, never ever ever will forget it.
October 28, 200916 yr Last year I popped in the World Series DVD instead of watching a WS game. Will probably do that again. Maybe invite a few friends and have a Lou's shipped in. Phuck the Fillies and Yankmees
