LVSoxFan Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Hello White Sox brothers: On a more upbeat memory, I'm trying to track down that awesome pic of whom I believe is Kirk McCaskill waiting for the catcher to jump on him by the mound after making the final out in the 1993 AL West clinch game. It's up on one of the ramps at the Cell on the South side of the park. But damn if I cannot locate it anywhere, no matter what I Google. A poster would be awesome, frame-able pic would suffice. Any ideas? Many thanks. I figure if it can be found, somebody here knows where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVSoxFan Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 Damn this thing is hard to track down! You'd figure if it makes it onto the wall at the Cell it should be around somewhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Am I the only one (had to have been old enough of course) that enjoyed that '93 season more than '05? I can't explain it. Maybe because I was only 10 and it was still a 'kids' game to me at the time. This is when I also knew that the Sox, not the Bulls or Bears, had my heart. The Bulls had just 3-peated a few months earlier and I was nowhere near as elated as I was when the Sox simply took the division. I really thought we were going to take Toronto that year. The way Alvarez/Bere were pitching down the stretch, plus that Frank guy. f***! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I loved '83 and '93 the most over '00 or '08. Though, '05 will always be my fav until they win another next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are the man. It's gotta be out there somewhere. If it was iconic enough to put on the wall at the park, I gotta imagine it's available somewhere.

I wasn't as aware of advanced statistics or our proclivity to fail down the stretch. It was more just magical. Yeah, I hear that. I was also absolutely CRUSHED in 2000 (being 17). 93 and the rise of Frank were amazing and got me to the Sox at age 10, the late nineties had some epic-bad pitching, 2000 was sweet, 2001-2004 were very frustrating, 2005 was jizz central, and since it's been a cavalcade of frustration. EDIT: Someone retroactively give Frank that MVP Award for 2000, already. Stupid juicin' Giambi.

Pants Rowland Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 15, 2011 -> 03:11 PM) 1983 ^^This. 9 years old, fans celebrate the clinching peacefully on the field at the old ballpark, listening to that game on the radio until Sportvision allowed it on free TV and I watched with my dad, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Great memories even if Tito Landrum and Dybzinski f***ed it up in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Someone retroactively give Frank that MVP Award for 2000, already. Stupid juicin' Giambi. '05 will be my favorite until the next one. I do admit that '05 was kind of anticlimactic. I wouldn't say that every year since '05 was that bad. '08 was a fun year for me. Game 162, the blackout game, those are good memories.

LVSoxFan Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 How can you call it anti-climactic? We crushed all year, almost fell apart in September, then rallied at the end... then crushed in the WS/playoffs. I couldn't have been any more storybook than that. Since then it's been slim pickins though. Granted the Blackout game was WS-like and I had the privilege of being at The Perfect Game, which ranks #2 behind the WS in all-time greatest moments. Now... anyone have any other ideas about that pic? I'm at a loss! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 By the end of Game 3 of the world series, we had it all wrapped up in my mind, and perhaps before that even, yet there was still the last game to be played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to school far from Chicago. I was wary, but other people kept telling me it was in the bag. I didn't believe it until that last out.

That series wasn't wrapped up in my mind until Konerko caught the ball from Juan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
