Finkelstein Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Not sure if this had been posted yet, I didn't see it anywhere. From Phillies.com: A familiar ring: Aaron Rowand has big plans for Tuesday's off-day. He'll fly to Chicago to receive his World Series ring with his former White Sox teammates. "I couldn't have planned it any better," Rowand said. "It's important to pick up the hardware [in person], because you never know how many opportunities you're going to get." Rowand spent the past five seasons with the White Sox and helped end Chicago's 88-year World Series drought last season. He said he doesn't plan to lock his jewelry away in a safety deposit box. "I'm going to be flashing it around," Rowand said. "I earned that thing. I'm going to be wearing it. And if I lose it, I'll buy another one. If you lose it, you can have the company make another one. "I might say I lost it and get another one, and put that one away." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitetrain8601 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Hopefully Damaso, Viz, Duque, Blum, etc are there to accept their rings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Dixie Normus Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Great news. I was at the game last night and everytime his image came up on the screen, the fans went nuts. I hope this news stays somewhat quiet, it will be a great surprise for his fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 09:39 AM) Hopefully Damaso, Viz, Duque, Blum, etc are there to accept their rings. Pittsburgh has a game Tuesday...but it's a night game and they're in Milwaukee, so Marte might have a chance to show. San Diego has a game Tuesday night in S.D., so Blum probably is busy. Arizona and Philly both have off days Tuesday. Seattle does not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisox_fan Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 (edited) Good to know. He was my favorite player so it will be nice to see him there. He was mentioned in an ESPN article when asked what the Sox clubhouse did during the rain delay: Asked how they killed all that time, Pierzynski revealed: "We sat around and watched the World Series DVD for a while there -- and made fun of everyone who showed up on it. But mostly Aaron Rowand." Rowand, alas, wasn't around to defend himself, since he was traded to the Phillies over the winter. But he still managed to take part in the rain-delay ridicule festivities. "Yeah, we were texting him back and forth," his buddy, Pierzynski, said. "About the best [insult] he came up with was [to Pierzynski]: 'Get a haircut.' But I told him he was just jealous because he doesn't have any hair." http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/stor...yson&id=2394798 Edited April 3, 2006 by Chisox_fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpringfieldFan Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Maybe not as a player, but somehow, some day, Arow will be a member of the Chisox organization again. Book it. SFF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he has a monster year both defensively (we pretty much know THIS will happen) and offensively. I may have to watch a couple of Cubs games just so I can see A-Row a few times.
