Chisoxfn Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I think Soxtalk can convert a casual fan into a diehard fan so I'm going to say YES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if I can say converted, but I turned two yankee fans into being White Sox fans as their #2 team. Hell, the one guy wound up getting World Series tickets for us through his Dad's connections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosMediasBlancas Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 My wife pretended to have switched allegiances when we first began dating, but now she's 100% Scrub fan. She was just trying to get into my pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I used to just go to games with my father and brother, but now I go to more games and have high demand from friends to go to games with them. It's a great time going with friends, especially with the big crowds to add to the atmosphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCSox Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 QUOTE(NYSox35 @ Jun 9, 2006 -> 11:37 AM) I don't know if I can say converted, but I turned two yankee fans into being White Sox fans as their #2 team.

My wife's been a Yankees fan forever, but started rooting for the Sox as well shortly before we got married. She'll always be a Yankees fan first, but last year made the Sox her "official" second-favorite team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitewashed in '05 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 My cousin has been a Yankee fan ever since I can remember and I tried to convert him, but it didn't work. I did successfully make the sox his 2nd team though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyho7476 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I converted a guy who hangs out at my bar. We took him last year to opening day, for our annual limo ride to the game. he had a blast and ended up buying sox gear, and giving away his Cubs stuff. I have since taken him to more games and he is loving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
