Jose Abreu Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Starting this early because I'm already looking forward to it. Let's get back to our winning ways. Our hitters haven't seen much of Eovaldi. Melky is 2-3 off him, though. This could be our last game without Upton/Cespedes/new bat in our lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only 16 anyway lol. I basically assume that everyone on here is an adult. It's nice to know that there are other people my age here. I'm basically 16 too, my birthday's in a couple weeks. But yeah, I post on Soxtalk a lot; I find it cool that there are so many people with unique opinions on our team that I can interact with. Most of my friends are Sox fans, but only a couple are die-hards. Sadly, there aren't many young fans like us anymore. The only drawback to being this young on Soxtalk is not getting the historical references all the time! The first Sox team I followed in a "die-hard" fashion was that lowly 07 team. It was pretty rough. Many people assume my first team was 05- I really wish it could have been that way. If that was your first team, I'm definitely jealous!

I was only 6 at the time they won it all (I turned 7 the day after they clinched), so that was definitely an amazing experience. I don't remember everything about that year since I was so young, but I do remember certain portions of it. The first game I went was that year as well. I've been a die hard fan of every Sox team since then. It's too bad we haven't had anything good to root for lately. Hopefully they surprise us and at least make the Wild Card game this year. That would satisfy me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Big game tonight. Always important to win the game after a streak-ender to maintain some momentum. Need Rodon to be sharp and limit the amount of walks. That will likely make or break us tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarComing25 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 What's a normal age to start following a team as a die-hard? I'm 25 but my first season following the White Sox all the way through was the 2004 team. I guess I was a late bloomer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been a White Sox fan since I got a Frank Thomas Topps rookie as a 6-7 year old. A kid a couple years older that I knew said that he was supposed to be a pretty good player so I became a Frank fan and naturally a White Sox fan.

Fans are fans, and the White Sox could use a lot more of them, honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 25 as well, but since my old man is a die hard sox fan, I've been one since I can remember. Plus, growing up in MN, I had no choice but to defend myself, and be as educated on the game as possible. Hence why I know more about the Twins than most Twins fans, and I f***ing hate the Twins.

I'm just young enough (and started being a big fan late enough) to miss almost the entire Frank Thomas era unfortunately, especially his best years.
