SouthSidePride05 Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 What's been your favorite Sox-related present you've received? Not something you bought for yourself.. My birthday was over the weekend and my coworkers made me a cake in the form of a baseball with the Sox logo and 'Go White Sox' on it. Coolest cake I've ever seen! They know me well .

SleepyWhiteSox Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Well, it wasn't for me, but... My uncle gave my baby brother one of those cute little White Sox uniform outfits with the pinstripes and everything... I thought he looked cute wearing it. Don't tease!

ptatc Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 For my 30th my wife got me a Big Hurt pinball machiene. It''s one of the best presents I have ever received. It combines two of my favorites: pinball and the White Sox. After I got it I went to a Soxfest and brought the directions card that sits inside the glass and had him sign it.

I think all the stuff is cool. Yes, it's a full sized one. It was used from an arcade. I love to tinker around with it. It has a glove to aim for and lights like a stadium. That's why it's the best of the many I have received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 For my B-Day last year, my wife had a custom Sox cake made for me in the shape of a cap. It's the retro, red, white and blue cap. It was awesome, tasted like crap, but looked awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonxctf Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 i was actually going to post something similar to this later in the month... last month for my birthday, my soon to be wife, got me one of those Sox Ultimate Fan Experience packages. on April 29th, (Maggs first game vs the Sox) I get to bum around on the field during batting practice and then get to sit-down with one of (4) sox players, (yet to be determined), for 30 minutes to chat and get autographs signed. pretty sweet!

ottawa_sox Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 About 10 years ago I was going out with a woman, who although sweet, was not exactly the sharpest pencil in the box. For my birthday she got me personalized license plates for my car. It read CHICSX. I asked her about CHISOX and she said someone else in the province of Ontario had them. I never checked up on her claim, but I suspected she just blew it. During the ensuing year I had about 10 curious and somewhat irate women approach me in parking lots wondering if I was advertising for CHIC SEX. At first I found the response kinda funny. My next girl friend did not see the humour. The license plates now reside in the bottom of a closet somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonxctf Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 (edited) for some reason, position players are the only one's available for the sit-down. no pitchers allowed. my 4 choices are thomas, konerko, rowand and dye. It would be cool to get Tadahito, but I'm not sure how fun the sit-down conversation would be? :banghead probably the longest and most awkward 30 minutes of my life.

soxman352000 Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Authentic Frank Thomas Uniform for my 16th b-day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigHurt35 Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Can't think of what I received, but I gave my sister a Frank Thomas jersey for her 16th birthday and gave my dad my Sox Starter jacket (purchased in '90) when I left for college (a few years later). Both items are still worn on a regular basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooftop Shots Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 The coolest gift? I received a candle with a Sox logo on it from my die-hard Cub fan uncle. With it was a note"Tom. in honor of your new team, here is a candle to represent them. " In honor of them, you light the candle before each game, and then as you watch that candle burn down and burn out by the end of the year,....you can watch your team do the same." (Why is that a cool gift???) Here's why!!!! It prompted me to get revenge! (And a SWEET ONE IT WAS!!!) I sent 2 packages in return. 1st one has 2 baseball cards. Ron Santo and Don Kessinger when they played with The Sox . Ron's caption to Don...."Gee Don, you're the smarter one out of us both!It only took you 11 years to figure out the right team to play for, It took me 13 years. " Don's reply, "Yeah, well someone has us both beat. "(I inserted a 1964 Cubs Lou Brock card in remeberance of what they traded away, and his caption was"Yeah guys,I got you both beat! It only took me 2 years and I got a World Series ring to prove it!)(with the St Louis Cards!!) My uncle opened up his second package. On E-bay, I found a 1969 New York Mets video highlights VHS. For those of you not too familiar with that year, The Cubs had an allstar starting infield and were in 1st place from day one until Sept 13 and "BLEW IT TO THE METS!!! If it wasn't for that candle gift, the sweet revenge never would have happened! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilMonkey Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I got a 'poster' of sorts that was given out by Old Style to various bars and such. It is a diamond shape, about 2.5 feet on each side, and in the middle has a montage of sox pics, baseball card pics, and a salute to Old Cominsky Park. The coolest part if that it had the names of every sox player that ever played for the sox in alphabetical order, followed by the years they played for the Sox after their names. The players that were currectly playing had the dates open ended ( 1992 - ). I love that piece. But then again, I also love the White Sox bank my son bought me as well.

Jabroni Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 (edited) My girlfriend just bought me a sweet Sox shirt and got us tickets to friday's game against the Mariners. The seats are right behind the Sox dugout. She said she got the seats and a parking pass for free, which is even better.

DBAHO Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Ahh an old Sox hat that my Dad got me for me when he was in Chicago, but I never wear it. It's the only Sox present I've gotten, but I'm hoping to get a jersey this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
