“SOX PRIDE: THE STORY OF THE 2005 WORLD CHAMPION CHICAGO WHITE SOX”

FILM PREMIERES AT EVENT BENEFITING WHITE SOX CHARITIES

 

--TICKETS ON SALE TODAY AT NOON--

 

CHICAGO – The World Series Champion Chicago White Sox will host a special red-carpet event to launch the brand-new “Sox Pride: The Story of the 2005 World Series Champion Chicago White Sox” DVD at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, December 5 at the Arie Crown Theater.

 

Tickets will be available at noon today, Tuesday, November 29, online at whitesox.com, through TicketMaster phone lines at (312) 559-1212, at Chicagoland TicketMaster outlets and at the Arie Crown Box Office. Proceeds from the event will benefit Chicago White Sox Charities.

 

The Sox Pride DVD, created by the White Sox and Major League Baseball Productions, features season highlights, original interviews with players and coaches and unique behind-the-scenes glimpses at the club’s 2005 Championship season. Other special features include the 2005 player introductory video, the club’s television advertising spots and other surprises. The DVD hits stores on December 6 and will be available at all major Chicagoland music stores.

 

“This was such a magical season for White Sox fans and the city of Chicago,” said White Sox vice president of marketing Brooks Boyer. “Sox Pride captures the excitement of White Sox baseball, while offering an exclusive behind-the-scenes glimpse at our players from Spring Training through the World Series victory parade. The additional features, including the famous player introduction video and the season highlight reel, make it an even more special piece of memorabilia. This is the only holiday gift for White Sox fans this season.”

 

“With SoxFest already sold out, this event is the only chance some fans will have to be a part of the excitement before the start of the 2006 baseball season,” said Boyer.

 

The screening will begin at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, December 5. Doors to the Arie Crown Theater will open at 5:00 p.m., and between 5:00 and 7:00 guests may use their own cameras to have their photographs taken with the World Series trophy and shop for White Sox and World Series merchandise and memorabilia. Additional copies of Sox Pride will be available for sale.

 

Tickets for this once-in-a-lifetime event are $30 and include a free copy of the DVD, which retails for $19.95. Proceeds from the event will benefit Chicago White Sox Charities. Tickets are available online at whitesox.com, through TicketMaster phone lines at (312) 559-1212, at Chicagoland TicketMaster outlets and at the Arie Crown Box Office. Capacity is limited and all seats are reserved, so fans are encouraged to purchase tickets soon.

 

The Arie Crown Theater is located at McCormick Place’s Lakeside Center, 2301 S. Lake Shore Drive in Chicago. Parking is available for $8.
