South Side fans getting it done. . .

When I bought my White Sox Tickets last April, I had no idea I was going to see the 2005 AL Champions. I saw the ad on Craigs List. . . 2 Sox tickets, I can't make the game, For Sale below face value! Since I was headed to Chicago on my way to Michigan and Cleveland, I bought them. 2 tickets for $26, they arrived in the mail a few weeks later, Season tickets from the owner, now in my hands for a casual Baseball vacation.

3 months later, when I arrived in Chicago, the Sox were a different team. A team of power pitching and clutch hitting. A team of pride in a city of past Champions waiting for another. I had an extra ticket when I arrived at the game and sold it at the gate for more than I paid. The game was sold out! People became rabid Sox fans, and even as the Sox lost 10 to 1, everyone knew the Sox were headed for the Post season.

Sox fans are some of the most vocal fans in the League, and a game in the South Side can give your vocabulary a few new words. . . But, let's put it this way. . . They earned it!
