cabiness42 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I thought it was the 27th? It would have been if the Astros had scored 2 runs on the 26th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 What a day. I turned 7 the day after they won it all, on the 27th. Needless to say, that was one of the best birthday presents EVER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminor3rd Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Watched this alone from my dorm-lounge. Ran screaming up to the 10th floor and banged on the door of the only Astros fan I knew of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran screaming up to the 10th floor and banged on the door of the only Astros fan I knew of. Me too, me too. I drove all the way home to chicago to watch game 1 with my brother and then drove back at 4:30am to get my first class at 11 the next day (missed it). Really, really sucked missing being in Chicago for it, but did get WGN at school to watch parad.e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Watched the first few innings at McGee's (what can I say, I was 23). It was so packed and awful and hard to see the TV, so at a innings break we ran over to John Barleycorn in Lincoln Park (again, I was 23) and watched the rest there. I had met my future wife a few days prior. She lived a few blocks from Wrigley, so headed back to her place I of course had to stop at Cubby Bear for a drink, just to celebrate on Cubs turf. Ha, what a young twenty-something asshole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I had just moved from Oak Park to the DC area in April of 2005. Very excited to see the Sox win but a bit bummed that I was so far away when it happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shysocks Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Turned 18 on the off day between games 2 and 3. What a time! I remember my excitement after PK's grand slam - there's nothing else like it in sports. Clinching the title was amazing too, of course, but that had a slow buildup. The slam was like a sucker punch of euphoria. I stayed up for all of game 3 and got about 2 hours of sleep. We won the last two games of the season on the same calendar day! Holy s***!

OmarComing25 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) I went to two playoff games that year, the drop third strike game and Game 2 of the World Series. I don't think I could have picked two better home games to go to. Crowd was louder after Konerko's grand slam than it was after Podsednik's walkoff. Also, when Crede hit the game-winning double the stadium was completely silent until the ball hit the wall, then it was complete bedlam. Good times. Was only 15 when it happened.

southsider2k5 Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 Herb Lawrence 15 hrs · 2005 White Sox only had 3 players that were drafted by the team on the World Series roster. Joe Crede, Aaron Rowand and Mark Buehrle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Watched at home with my parents. My dad was listening to the radio, slightly ahead of TV. He started grinning and celebrating and 5 seconds later they made the final out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I also remember crying and whining about how Aaron Rowand could not handle the slider low and outside and was ruining the series for us! Man that was intense. We were up 3-0 and up until Jermaine Dye's hit i was miserable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
