February 11, 201511 yr For some reason I couldn't find the SoxFest thread, so I'll just make a new one for this. A comedian from Chicago hosted a panel with Avi, Flowers, Petricka, and Eaton and it was really quite funny. It's nice to get to know these players on a lighter note and more personally than just the technical questions that seem phoned in some times. http://m.whitesox.mlb.com/cws/video/topic/...favorite-things I particularly loved when the host was making jokes about Jake's big screen TV, and all the jokes about Avi's translator. Good stuff.

Good stuff. I was at that one. The guy told Eaton whose wife was also on the stage, how he didn't need her. Eaton looked confused, then the guy asked him what his nickname was.
February 11, 201511 yr When he asked Flowers who the biggest trash talker is, I knew he'd say Torii Hunter.
February 11, 201511 yr QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 10, 2015 -> 08:48 PM) I was there and thought the host did really well. The crowd loved Avi. Everyone around me was talking about how funny Garcia was and he barely even said anything. Garcia is a great guy. The game I went to last year he was rehabbing before the game, throwing around and there was a little kid (looked to be the same nationality) that was yelling his name the whole time and Avi came over and said hi and gave him a ball and something else. He seems like such an upbeat guy
February 11, 201511 yr Did Avi say he was 14 years old when he was playing in rookie ball? At around 15 minutes...shouldn't he have been 16 at least?

At around 15 minutes...shouldn't he have been 16 at least? Yeah, he did say that. I wonder if maybe he got his numbers mixed up. His B-R page says he started minor league baseball at age 17.
