OK - I’m a fan of Chicago teams; I don’t have any favorites. Maybe that’s due to my absence from the region while in high school and college.
I think that if a Chicago teams succeeds, it just reffects well on the region. That’s why I was fully supporting the Chicago White Sox on their tear through the American League and into the World Series. I watched all of the games I was able to depending on other obligations and enjoyed seeing them win. I feel great for the long time, die-hard White Sox fans who have finally received their World Championship win.
I can’t say that I’ve been a dyed-in-the-wool Sox fan, but I have found myself watching more and more of the Sox games on WGN over the past couple of years. This year’s team just seems to have caught my attention a little earlier cuz there didn’t seem to be a single “big name” on their roster. Frank Thomas is a big name and deserves the recognition, but he has been beset recently with some injuries. He has always seemed to be a hard worker and has tried his best for the team over time. This year, everyone pitched in and did their part. This season’s tema just shows that a group of average to above avaerage players working together can do more than one team with one or two superstars. That’s what I like about the 2005 Sox.
Anyway, I say Congratulations to the Chicago White Sox, their fans and the City of Chicago!
