I see a lot of Sox hats,T-shirt and jerseys there! They must have got them at the fair weather store.

SnB Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 can you blame them? how can you cheer for a team as bad as the rockies are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 I hear there a tons of *Insert Rockies Opponent here* fans in Colorado. I don't care if any of them are fairweather fans. That's how you get their children to become diehards. It starts with the fairweather fans. I'll take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonkeyKongerko Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Sox merchandise is always a top seller. Sox fans are alot harder to find for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the merchandise is because it has probably one of the best logos in baseball. So many Hip-Hop people wear it(look at all the rappers wearing White Sox hats) and White Sox gear is more nice clothing than team apparel by most people.

Chisoxfn Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 I go to the games when they are in Anahiem, that doesn't make me a fairweather fan. A few posters are at the game tonight as well and 99% of posters here aren't fairweather fans. I think its cool that there are so many Sox fans there cheering on our favorite team I know I'll be cheering em on this weekend down in SD.

DABearSoX Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 I gotta say, that last Cheer as shingo struck him out was pretty loud for a bunch of fairweather fans.....i'm moving out to colorado in august, maybe some of us sox fans just migrate there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 You know it does seem like there is always a decent amount of sox fans when we are on the road, maybe its because of WGN and they decided not to like the cubs or the Braves on TBS. We do get a lot more national attention than a lot of teams thanks to WGN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drowninginflame Posted June 7, 2005 Author Share Posted June 7, 2005 If we keep winning along with the WGN thing, I think our fanbase is going to grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were to live anywhere other than Orange County or Chicago, it would be Colorado. Its just a beautiful state with a lot of really nice parts. Weather isn't too shabby if your in the right spot either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 I am driving from Billings, MT, to Denver to watch the games on Tuesday and Wednesday. I have been a fan since 1959. I'll be behind home plate and up a bit just to the left side. Maybe I'll see you there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3E8 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 As someone said before, WGN is the reason for many Sox fans out there. When Colorado didn't have a team, I think many out there adopted the Cubs (mostly them) or the Sox as their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreye Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 (edited) It's Interleague baseball, people! There are Sox fans everywhere! If the Sox were in Colorado 5 times a year, it wouldn't have been that loud. This is the first time they've ever been there so every Sox fan for miles around made plans for a special trip when they saw that on the schedule. There are always fans of the visiting team in every park. In interleague baseball it's more concentrated. It's not fair weather fans. Yes, there were probably some there, but that's not who you heard screaming. Edited June 7, 2005 by mreye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not as many, because San Diego is a harder ticket to get. The park will be more full and you won't hear them as much as in Colorado. But, I'm sure the camera guys will be showing them.
