Hey President Obama. I know you are a big White Sox fan; actually, that was one of the things that drew me to your candidacy. Because Hillary Clinton was all like, oh, I'm a Yankees fan, but also I root for the Cubs. And Rudy Giuliani, who's also a Yankees fan, said he'd root for the RED SOX in the World Series. I'm sorry but what does that portend? A Yankee fan who'd root for the Red Sox is a U.S. President who'd root for the Taliban. Whereas you not only proclaimed your love for the White Sox, you called out Cubs fans! You said: "You go to Wrigley Field, you have a beer, beautiful people up there. People aren't watching the game. It's not serious. White Sox, that's baseball." Awesome.
Anyway, as a big White Sox fan, you probably are interested in some of the players. I can tell you stuff you probably don't know about them! Not all of them, but definitely the ones who used to play for the Mariners. (I'm a HUGE Mariners fan).
Like, Freddy Garcia. Did you know that when he played for the Mariners, practically every time I'd come back to visit someone I knew would tell me they saw him in a club? Freddy liked to party...probably still does!
Or Scott Podsednik. His first major league hit was a triple! On ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball! Sweet way to start of your career, huh?
Also! Paul Konerko! Did you know that he started his career as a catcher? True fact! I saw one of his first professional games, in 1994, as a member of the Yakima (Wa.) Bears of the Northwest League. He was right out of high school and so was I, but while my summer job was going door-to-door asking people for money for WashPIRG, he was playing catcher for a minor league baseball team.
I could probably come up with some other interesting stuff if you called.
