Awesome Thing #3

The Chicago White Sox

There is nothing better than watching the White Sox beat up on another team. The tradition within the oranization is what makes White Sox baseballe so great. Field of Dreams is also in the top five of every straight man's favorite movies and it's about the White Sox.

Sox vs Cubs at Home

The White Sox beat the Cubs 2 out of 3 games at home this year. After losing game one by only one run and winning game two with a walk off single by rookie Gordon Beckham, you might think game three would have been closer than the 6-0 score acheived by the Sox. Jermaine Dye is a huge reason for the Sox recent success. Recently winning co-American league player of the week with Yanks Mariano Rivera, he hit .435 with 2 homers and 7 RBIs last week.

My First Sox Game

One September 6th, 2008 I went to my first White Sox game. It was an amazing game against the Angels, a team on fire. The game went 15 innings and ended when Jim Thome hit a walk off home run. The home run was his 537th career home run and moved him ahead of Mickey Mantle for total career home runs. Jim Thome now occupies 14th place on the all time home run list alone.
