KevHead0881 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I like the idea of Billy Pierce throwing out the first pitch. Being that for reasons past understanding he didn't get to start in the '59 World Series, I think it would be fitting tribute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanOfCorn Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Either: Get the entire living '59 team out there and have Pierce actually throw it. Or: One of the oldest White Sox fans, whoever that may be. Maybe the longest standing season ticket holder families? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Wow, this is a tough call. There are so many people who could do it, but so few chances. I would have to say Rich Daley in close call, but Billy Pierce would be my 1A choice. I guess it depends on if you want a face of Chicago, or a face of the Chicago White Sox.

SSH2005 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 The White Sox are trying to get Luis Aparicio to throw out the first pitch in Game 1. I just heard it on the Score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaSoxxJim Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Actually, did anybody mention Al Lopez? I guess those who suggested the entire surviving '59 club sort of did. At 97 (or whatever age they said he was), he looked pretty spry in Anaheim last week. Yeah, I'd go with Al for one of these games for sure.

bjm676 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Aparicio Frank, Pierce both of them did it all ready. Daley would be a good choice. Maybe for game 2. No, to Blago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Why would the Sox have Billy Pierce throw out the first pitch of the World Series game 1 if he already threw out the first pitch for game 1 of the ALCS? That is incredibly lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpringfieldFan Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 (edited) I guess you could salute the last Sox team to win 99 games. Tony LaRussa might be available to do it. SFF Edited October 19, 2005 by SpringfieldFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Prawn Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 (edited) Personally, I think being so close to halloween they should just have a seance and the first player from either 1917 or 1959 to respond gets to throw the first pitch.

Yeah, I'd go with Al for one of these games for sure. Actually longtime Sox pitching coach(also of the 59' team) Ray Berres is also 97 and is very very alive and well. You could have Al Lopez pitch and Berres be the catcher. That would be something for these guys and fans to remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I liked the Fisk/Black Jack combo on Carlton Fisk day (I was there! ), but I voted for Big Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
