YASNY Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I'm thrilled to see the Sox still can show some compassion, when needed. http://www.dailysouthtown.com/southtown/dsindex/15-ds2.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 The sox organization is by far the best I've seen when it comes to things like this, absolutely fantastic job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidoochic Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 That is a wonderful story. Those kids went through a lot this year and I am proud to say I am a fan of the White Sox when they go out of their way for the community including Cliff Politte and Chris Widger's trip to Utica this year. Way to go Sox! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard Zelig Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Carl said that he was more than happy to visit with the team and would do the same for any team, as long as there were no gays on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjm676 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 This team does so much charity, it's unbelievable. Helping with Utica, building the baseball fields in Mt. Greenwood and now this. This team just continues to impress me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's obvious, but I just want to make sure nobody reacts to that post thinking it was true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted June 16, 2005 Author Share Posted June 16, 2005 The kid who was hospitalized after being hit in the head by the line drive was released from the hospital. According to the article, he was visited by Aaron Rowand on June 1. http://www.dailysouthtown.com/southtown/yr...uth/161syt1.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the criminal part of it all. We can get treated to stories about Franks ego, Ozzie's mouth, attendance, and the ballmall everyday, but the media is eeriely quiet when these same professional athletes make a positive impact in peoples real lives. I make it a point to dig out these stories and post them every chance I get, so that everyone can see the good hearts in these people, and look past things like their batting averages and ERA's. These are honest to god, good people that play for the Sox, and the world deserves to know it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they would report more on things the guys do on their own time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we should start a letter writing campaign and attach local press stories. A couple of stories on "Outside the Lines" and Fox Saturday baseball would do wonders for this team and its image.

I have no doubt that the Sox have someone who sends this stuff to the media. I see the press releases on whitesox.com all of the time when they happen. It is the media who never picks it up. Maybe its just me, but I would rather hear about Carl Everett visiting critically injured kids, than hear about Carl Everett rail against gays.
