CWSGuy406 Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Sorry If I'm making a big deal out of this, but the new Sox Pride are marketing Frank Thomas; and I love the idea. In the commercial, it says '14 Seasons, 1 Uniform'. And that's awesome . Brooks is a smart guy, he seems to know what we as fans want. I find the idea excellent, and the same thing should have been done with Maggs, but with his uncertainty for next year, I can understand why they aren't doing it. Well - anyways, keep up the good work Brooks! EDIT: I also wanted to add that Thomas, to the casual fan, is greatly underappreciated, and I'm glad the Sox took the initiative and started to market him.

Brooks is doing a great job and I've loved everything he's done so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Yeah - I could do without the flying shirts between innings, but hey, whatever gets fans to pack the Cell. Yeah good point, forgot all about that. That plus the bucket boys and I think I'm at a bulls game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsox Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Yeah - I could do without the flying shirts between innings, but hey, whatever gets fans to pack the Cell. I was going to join in saluting the Frank Thomas commerical - which I haven't seen but it sounds great and marketing Frank is long overdo - until i read this post and got distracted by it. I understand the pizza races, airplane races, frog races. guess the ball under which hat thing, hey my kid is 9 and in the 6-7-8 years and even now really enjoys them and is part of his game experience (along with dippin' dots, a pretzel, and nachos, and singing OEO and Jose! Jose! Jose! Jose!). But wtf are those flying shirt things? I can't figure that out. It is really lame. It is a minor league gimmick and all I see in the UD is shirts being given to rich folks in the lower deck boxes. When they give some shirts out in the UD I will change my opinion but it is stupid and just more freebies for those who least need it.

Kalapse Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 It's about time the sox started marketing Frank, He's arguably the best White Sock of all time and he's spent his whole damn career here. I was talken to a cub fan the other day he didn't even know Frank spent his whole career here. Frank Thomas is not widely known to the common fan.

You mean the people that write the checks in December instead of waiting for half price night? Those people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasywheels121 Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I have yet to see it, but I'm sure I'll love it. It's giving some dap to my favorite player; I've got to give Brooks Boyer some dap of his own though. He's done a hell of a job in the short period he's been here.

Actually, I was in the upper deck at a Braves game and they had staff in the upper deck throw shirts to those up there, and I got one actually. They threw out a good number too, I'd say.

Al Lopez Ghost (old) Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 It's a fabulous commercial "14 seasons - one uniform" and really appeals to Sox Pride. Boy is Rob Gallas improving! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
