KnightsOnMintSt Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Figured it would be pretty cool to see what everyone has. What is everyone's favorite piece of White Sox memorabilia? I have a lot of stuff, but my favorites would probably be: -Ozzie Guillen signed World Series baseball. -Eloy Jimenez signed jersey. -Paul Konerko signed baseball. -Luis Robert signed 8x10 photo. What does everyone else have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you get the rebuild ball done? SoxFest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightsOnMintSt Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 One of my more random ones is something that I got last year. I went to a Kannapolis game because Rodon was starting on a rehab assignment. And because he was there, Jose Contreras was also there. I was sitting in the front row and Jose threw me a ball that had rolled foul during an AB. I then got him to sign the ball after the game. Thought that was pretty cool.

I figured it would be cool to have looking back 10, 15, 20 years from now and see who ended up having a major league career and who busted. Still room for Collins and Vaughn too.

soxfan49 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 In 2006 I saw the Sox play in Pittsburgh. I went with my dad. He's the reason I'm a Sox fan and we used to make occasional trips to road Sox games. Anyway during the first game of the series he got a foul ball. He gave it to me. He passed away in 2017. Sometimes it's not the most expensive piece or the one you worked hardest for but instead the most symbolic. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBWSF Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) 1) The 1942 White Sox poster schedule which lists all of the home games from that season, 2) Every White Sox media guide and yearbook since 1933. 3) Every Topps White Sox baseball card from 1959 to the present. The above have been my favorites. My White Sox collection has been featured in Sports Collectors Digest, Sports Collectors daily and the first edition of the White Sox Encyclopedia by Richard Lindberg. My latest collecting sickness are White Sox bobbleheads. I have 130 different White Sox bobbleheads. I'm running out of room in my mancave.

ptatc Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I have a lot of stuff as well including game worn jerseys, bats, Comiskey bricks and such. However, my favorite is my autographed Frank Thomas Big Hurt pinball machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanne Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I wish I would have snagged a brick from old Comiskey. Friend of mine has a seat that I'm trying to snag from him for some trade work. I think the coolest thing I have was a Spring Training program from 1972 (I believe) when the Sox played in Sarasota (Allen never showed up for ST unfortunately). They played the Phillies that day and my program was covered with autographs from all the Sox guys like Melton, Walt Williams, Carlos May, etc...and I got a couple Philly sigs too (Luzinski and Mike Schmidt). It's tucked away in a box at my Dad's. If anybody recalls the ST facility you pretty much hung out by the clubhouse that was separate and all the players had to walk thru to the field.

wegner Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I've got a pen that when you push it down it plays Hawk calling a game winning home run by Jose Valentin.....You can put it on the board, YES!!! I also love an autographed photo of Minnie Minoso that my wife gave me (when we were engaged) from when Minnie came to where she was working downtown. She said he was just the nicest man, which agrees with any story I've ever heard about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I have a Maggs Ordonez hat that he threw out of the dugout right into my hands during a game he was just off. But my prize is my autographed Holy Cow Harry Caray and Jimmy Piersall signed ball that I caught when I was 12 or 13. I went to a double header with my friend, his dad, and his sister. We were sitting in LF at the old Comiskey Park, and my friend and I decided to be cool so we went to sit behind the plate. There was an aisle at the old park just beyond the boxes and as we were walking Willie Mays Aikens hit a foul ball that hit the auxilary scoreboard . I jump up on the area behind the boxes ( it was higher so people could still see the game as idiots like me walked by) leaned up against the railing and one handed it. I then snapped it down like Dave Parker used to do. I got a nice hand and some high fives. We proceded to still behind the plate, and a little while later I got a tap on the shoulder, I assumed the gig was up, but it was someone who was going to escort me to the broadcast booth to meet Harry and Jimmy. I guess Harry went on and on about my catch. So we went up there, and I talked to him for about a minute during the game and they signed my ball. I still have it, even though it's pretty faded. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Not sure if it’s my favorite, but I’m glad I have it... A ticket stub from Buehrle’s debut in 2000. Didn’t even know he got called up until he was warming up in the pen late in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
