greasywheels121 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I can't find the threads asking about this, b/c the search required to find it links everything to the Filibuster. However, I don't know if people noticed, but the Sox are scheduled to go to the White House the second week of February. Just something to look forward to!

GW once owned the Rangers and has publically cheered for them in the past. I highly doubt his allegance to any team would affect anything.

Just like his Dad. Doesn't matter. There's nothing personal about this tradition. It's just the President shaking hands with the players, and the players presenting a jersey to the President. Just a nice photo-op. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonkeyKongerko Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Will Aaron Rowand and company be in attendance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 depending on the President's schedule they will likely try and schedule this when the Sox go to Baltimore, if that doesn't work, probably another East Coast trip or maybe right before the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baines3 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 It will be great to see the White Sox at the White House. I would think Rowand would be in attendance as he was part of the World Championship team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Philly fans went apes*** about him wearing that Bears jersey, going to the White House with the Sox may not be a good idea for Rowand.

mwolfson Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Aaron will be there... Everyone will be there. It's a tradition and as much as I don't agree poltically with President Bush its something everyone on the White Sox will attend. Except maybe Ozzie because of his relationship with Hugo Chavez, one of Bush's harshest critics (for good reason in my opinion). The off-season is way too long.

Last year after Derek Lowe and a few others were already gone from Boston, they put their BoSox uniforms back on in the Boston ring ceremony. A few people around did complain, but for the most part they were scoffed at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjm676 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Quote The White Sox expect to be honored with a special visit to the White House within the next few weeks. Representatives from the World Series champions had hoped to arrange a visit for next Monday—immediately after this weekend's sold-out SoxFest celebration at the downtown Hyatt Regency. But Monday "just didn't work for the president," a White House official said. So the meeting with President Bush is now likely pushed back to sometime during the first two weeks of February, before pitchers and catchers report to spring training on Feb. 17. A White House representative is expected to make the formal announcement when Sox players, coaches and manager Ozzie Guillen will be invited to Washington. "Ozzie is pretty busy, but the president is busier," said Scott Reifert, vice president of communications for the White Sox. Wouldn't you love to be privy to an animated discussion on the White House lawn between the free-spirited and glib Guillen and the president about any topic ranging from baseball to political issues in South America?

You WILL be suspended, no questions asked. This is your only warning. We have a whole forum for this stuff, go state your opinions there, and let's leave this thread in good taste, no matter what your thoughts are on 'political debate'. I, and some others, would really appreciate that. Everyone involved will be classy, and we should do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 yeah there is no reason to turn this thread political. This has always been an apolitical photo op, and a neat memory for champions of all sports. No sense ruining this thread over something that isn't even there.

Frank the Tank 35 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Did anybody read the bottom section of the story? There's gonna be a Sox shrine at Harry Caray's restaurant. Gotta love contant visual reminders... "Harry Caray's Restaurant, known more for its Cubs-themed photos and memorabilia, is building a special White Sox World Series display that will be unveiled at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday. Last Wednesday, Mayor Richard Daley was at Harry Caray's for lunch. After Grant DePorter, managing partner of the restaurant, informed him of the plan for the display, the city's No. 1 Sox fan said he loved the idea and would be dining at the restaurant a lot more. Former White Sox slugger Ron Kittle, Harry Caray's widow, Dutchie, and Faust will accept delivery of the memorabilia and dedicate the display. Harry Caray was the White Sox play-by-play announcer for 11 seasons, from 1971 to 1981. The shrine will include the "last-out bat" used by Houston's Orlando Palmeiro in Game 4 of the World Series that gave the Sox their first championship since 1917, and Paul Konerko's grand slam ball, which fan Chris Claeys caught during Game 2. Claeys immediately placed the ball in a secured vault at MB Financial Bank. It will arrive at Harry Caray's from the bank in an armored car surrounded by security guards. Claeys' Game 2 World Series ticket, a letter from Gov. Rod Blagojevich written to Claeys and other Sox memorabilia will be on display."
