Cubs Suck23 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 We pity the fool who misses out on the opening pitch of Friday's Red Sox-White Sox game in Chicago. Because that's when Boston's A-Team will get a chance to meet the Windy City's own A-Teamer -- Mr. T! The bouncer-turned-wrestler-turned-vintage-TV star will throw out the first pitch to Hall of Fame catcher Carlton Fisk at U.S. Cellular Field wearing a pair of Hanes' new "Double Tough" socks, according to the Boston Herald. Just call him "Shoeless" Laurence Tureaud! Although the Chicago native admits he's no Curt Schilling or Mark Buehrle, he promises "the ball will get to the catcher." Word is Mr. T agreed to the sock stunt because Hanes promised donate a few cases to a local homeless shelter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Apparently Mr. T was on ManCow this morning, (I didn't even know he still existed), and he said he's a life-long Sox fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubs Suck23 Posted July 21, 2005 Author Share Posted July 21, 2005 I wonder if Fisk will wear a Whitesox hat or a redsox one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I thought that it was changed and George Lopez and Jermaine Dupri were going to be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I thought I heard Dan McNeil say HE was throwing out the first pitch tonight? Maybe he's doing it tomorrow? Don't really know or care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santo=dorf Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Does anyone know where I can get a copy of Mr. T's appearance on Chicago Tribune Live? I need to record the part where he talks about wearing the spoon around his neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Popper played the SSB to start it off....Jermaine Dupri (wearing a #72 jersey with dupri on the back) threw the first pitch, Mack threw the 2nd, and George Lopez threw the 3rd......what the hell is going on here, they even had movie commercials during inning breaks..... I'll take Popper and Mack.....I don't see why the hell these other so called "celebs" were there tonight, made me sick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
