claydude14 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Nice to see something for The Captain. Didn't expect a Rivera Retirement Tour, but nice gesture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whtsoxfan Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Kudos Cubs organization! some idiot cubs fan texted into the Boers and Bernstein show on the Score and said “why the cubs honoring Konerko what has she done, should get drilled in the face” see this is why cubs fans SUCK!

greg775 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Nice gesture. Cubs are first team to honor Paulie, right? The scoreboard tile is perfect. Beats a Cub bobblehead of Harry Caray or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkfan Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Would sox fans ever honor a cubs player with the equivalent merit level of Konerko? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to ask if they did anything for Kerry Wood. Obviously nowhere near as good but similarly revered. I also don't think they knew he was retiring.

greg775 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I wonder if they'd ever have an Ernie Banks appreciation day on the South Side. Or Billy Williams. Or Ron Santo since he played for the Sox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd absolutely applaud a Konerko equivalent if he was a Cub in his last game at the cell. But it's not like this was Cubs fans, this was the Cubs organization. Big difference. I'm sure some/most fans were classy, I bet others were along the lines of that texter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 That number 14 they gave him will end up at the next Sox garage sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingandalongonetoleft Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Classy. Too bad the Sox didn't plate 14 so Paulie could repay them with an equally classy gesture by lending it back for a few hours. But really, it was nice of the Cubs to do this. I'm sure somewhere down the line when HOF Starlin Castro is on his farewell tour, the Sox will return the favor by giving him something that has 13 written on it. A picture of Ozzie Guillen, maybe.

clyons Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I thought it was pretty classy, too. I honestly can't recall a Cubs comparative during the interleague era. Sandberg retired (for the second time) the year it started, and announced it near the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how much of that stuff he's picked up through the years and if they create a museum or shrine in their homes. It's kind of akward at some point.
