StatManDu Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 (edited) THIS DATE IN WHITE SOX HISTORY: OCT. 28 www.whitesoxalmanac.com/ ENJOY! 2005: The White Sox put an exclamation point on their World Series championship with a triumphant victory parade that began at US Cellular Field and ended in the Loop. In between, the caravan of double-decker busses carrying White Sox players and members of the organization traversed through the city’s famous neighborhoods much to the delight of the fans – estimated at 1.7 million – who lined the streets waving white socks, banners and brooms. The parade fed into the Loop where the White Sox were showered with ticker-tape. The program on the podium reached its peak when Paul Konerko presented the ball he gloved for the final out of the World Series to Chairman of the Board Jerry Reinsdorf. The long-time front man for the White Sox was clearly moved. “Getting this ball from Paul Konerko is the most emotional moment of my life,” Reinsdorf told the crowd. The festivities concluded with former Journey lead singer Steve Perry belting out “Don’t Stop Believin’ ” – the Sox 2005 playoff theme song – with a few players on stage.

BigEdWalsh Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 QUOTE(max power @ Oct 28, 2007 -> 10:32 AM) The ending was rather sad and embarrassing to me(damn journey) but all and all it was a helluva day. I've never been much of a Journey fan, but hey, "Don't Stop Believin'" became a theme song for that magical time, so I kinda dug it. Of course, it was a horrendous rendition, but what did it matter? It was just part of the magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitoMB345 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 That was a seriously fun day, minus the fact that we couldn't hear anything they were saying, even only 50 feet away from the stage. It definitely was magical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
