I think Ozzie's image will be tarnished in years to come as Sox seasons fail to live up to this one. Look how quickly things turned around in Florida, for instance.

 

Oz's image will never be tarnished in Chicago unless he gets arrested or something for some crime that he'll never commit.

Oz led Chicago to a world series title, first in 80 plus years.

He's like Ditka now.

And yes, hang that No. 13 in the future; like you said he led the Sox to a world championship after a very good career as a player; he's IN.

But, when we're removed from whatever valley brings us the end of Ozzie, perhaps a few years down the line, I think he's a shoe-in. Frank will be there as soon as next year, I imagine.

Are you EVER positive? EVER?

Ozzie just led this team to a World Series victory for the first time in 88 years. Not much could tarnish that.

Ditka is a good comp. Coach/manager that was larger than life. You only get hired to be fired in this business so I'm sure someday Ozzie will go like Da Coach. Fans helped run Ditka out of town, but they forgot all ill will about a year or so later and the same would happen with Ozzie if he were to fall out of favor
