ChWRoCk2 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I never liked the idea of kids singing at games or announcing lineups. All these additions for kids takes away from the game. I hate all the little gimmicks parks do for kids, its places like Yankee Stadium and Fenway that show the true game of baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that matters is the product on the field. Did the kids make Dye go 0-5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I'm pretty sure all the money they make off the fantasy packages goes to White Sox charities, is it really that hard to endure a squeeky little voice for 2 innings if that money is going to a great cause?

That would be the thrill of a lifetime. But he misses games from time to time. Like the NCAA Tournament. It's a great opportunity for him, but that doesn't change the fact that games aren't the same. And I know Nancy decided to take it easy this year. That still doesn't change the fact that games aren't the same without her too.
