And this latest celebration presents a chance to look back at key moments from that postseason run, with a special focus on the World Series, with the words coming primarily from the participants themselves. Trips to the Oprah Winfrey Show for members of the team and an appearance on Saturday Night Live for Scott Podsednik followed. But nothing could compare to the victory parade. The White Sox won on a Wednesday and had little time to prepare for the outpouring of love and genuine euphoria coming two days later throughout the streets of Chicago. White Sox captain and first baseman Paul Konerko: "As a Major League baseball player, you are like, 'What does the All- Star Game look like? What does the World Series look like?' If you've never been to one, you can kind of imagine close to what it's like before you go. If you go, it's kind of in the ballpark of what you thought. Konerko: "You spend your whole life thinking about getting to the World Series and the big leagues. We thought about the parade for a day. Nobody thinks about the parade well in advance. No team is out there going, 'I wonder what the 2016 parade is like?' Konerko: "There's no lead time to think about it, so when you are hit in the face with it, it makes you feel small. It was like, if we would have known something like that was on the end if we win this thing, we would have been nervous. You don't realize how many people cared about it. Konerko: "When that parade happened, I think I speak for everyone on the team, you don't realize how many you touch with something like that. That's a good thing we didn't know while doing it because it would have made you maybe think more. But you just played the game. Now that it's over, you realize." The highlight of the parade festivities came when Konerko reached into his jacket and gave Reinsdorf the ball from the last out from the clinching Game 4. Konerko said that Reinsdorf had earned it and deserved it. An emotional Reinsdorf said it was the greatest moment of his life, a comment which he admitted in humorous fashion at SoxFest 2015 that he heard about from his wife. Reinsdorf: "That was incredible, especially when you think about what had happened the year before, when [Doug] Mientkiewicz and the Red Sox got in a big dispute about it. I never really thought about where the last ball was. If someone had said, 'Where is the last ball,' I would have assumed Paulie has got it because he caught it. I never would have made an issue about it. As far as I was concerned, if he caught the ball, it was his ball." At Konerko's retirement ceremony on the final Saturday night of the 2014 season, Reinsdorf joked that he wasn't giving back the ball from the last out. The White Sox did track down the ball from Konerko's grand slam in Game 2. White Sox find a new radio home Scott Merkin / MLB.com | July 16th, 2015 A joint statement released Thursday by the White Sox, the Chicago Bulls and Cumulus Media, Inc., announced that WLS- AM 890 has been chosen as the new flagship radio station via a multiyear agreement. White Sox coverage will begin airing on WLS in 2016, and Bulls coverage will start with the 2016-17 NBA season. Both deals run through 2021. This agreement includes all White Sox regular-season and postseason games, select Spring Training and exhibition games, as well as weekly original programming. "Cumulus Media and WLS-AM 890 are honored to become the radio home of the Bulls and White Sox, two of Chicago's very best sports brands," said Peter Bowen, vice president and market manager of Cumulus Media's Chicago operations, in Thursday's release. "Adding both teams to our programming schedule allows us to continue to capitalize on the strong growth and success Cumulus is enjoying in the Chicago market." In addition to WLS-AM 890, Chicago stations in the Cumulus family include WLS-FM 94.7, WLUP FM 97.9 and WKQX-FM 101.1. During a recent interview with MLB.com, White Sox senior vice president of sales and marketing Brooks Boyer spoke of how the team's priority was to find the right radio home. The White Sox are in the midst of their second five-year deal with WSCR 670 AM, a partnership for which Boyer had great praise, despite it coming to an end. Boyer was quoted in Thursday's release about the team's excitement to partner with Cumulus and WLS-AM 890. In the broadcast booth, Ken "Hawk" Harrelson and Steve Stone, who are on the television side, and Ed Farmer and Darrin Jackson, who are on the radio side, all have contracts that are up at the end of this season. Harrelson, the iconic television voice with 31 seasons of experience in the television booth, talked last year about possibly cutting back on some road games in the 2015 season. But he stayed on the full schedule, with the excitement brought about by general manager Rick Hahn's offseason moves. "We said we were going to talk in the second half. Get through the first half and see how the travel has been. We kicked it around last year, and we'll see how he feels after another year," Boyer said recently of Harrelson. "All four of them are up, and we'll talk to them here in the second half and make sure we understand what they want to do and what we want to accomplish." "When I lose my emotion or passion, so to speak, for the game, I'm going to get out," said Harrelson during a recent interview. "As long as I've got it, I want to die right here." White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper marvels over 'very top of the line' Chris Sale Colleen Kane, Chicago Tribune July 16, 2015 n Cooper has watched many White Sox pitchers put together great stretches in his time as their coach over the years. He noted Esteban Loaiza's 21-victory season in 2003 and Jose Contreras' stretch between the All-Star breaks in 2005 and 2006, in the middle of which he helped the Sox to the World Series championship. He talked about Mark Buehrle's streak of retiring 45 straight batters and Bobby Jenks' streak of 41. So how does Chris Sale's recent stretch of 113 strikeouts over his last 10 starts compare in overall impressiveness? It has more "flair," Cooper said. "Sale has a little bit more shine because of the strikeouts," Cooper said. "It's probably the best streak as far as strikeouts, consistency and dominance." As the Sox and Sale emerge from the All-Star break this weekend for a four-game series against the Royals, starting with a split doubleheader Friday, Cooper also added a challenge to that compliment. "But his is a half (season)," he said. "Loaiza did it in a full season. Contreras did it over a full season. And now Chris and everybody else has X amount of games to go and nail down a great season for themselves and hopefully get us into the wild card or the playoffs." Starting pitching is one of the primary reasons the Sox went into the break on a hot streak and, unless the offense suddenly picks up steam, the club needs it to stay excellent to make the steep climb into contention. Up next: Royals at White Sox Up next: Royals at White Sox While Cooper pointed to some "lemons" for all of his pitchers, especially early in the season, Sox hurlers posted some of the best numbers in the majors in their 11 in July games before the break.

    Believe: The Story of the 2005 Chicago White Sox" By David J. Fletcher, CBM President Posted Sunday, April 12, 2015 Disheartened White Sox fans, who are disappointed by the White Sox slow start in 2015, can find solace in Sunday night’s television premiere of “Believe: The Story of the 2005 Chicago White Sox" that airs on Sunday night April 12th at 7pm on Comcast Sports Net Chicago. Produced by the dynamic CSN Chi- cago team of Sarah Lauch and Ryan Believe: The Story of the 2005 Chicago White Sox will air McGuffey, "Believe" is an emotional on Sunday, Apr. 12 at 7:00pm CT, on Comcast Sportsnet. roller-coaster-ride of a look at a key season in Chicago baseball history that even the casual baseball fan will enjoy because of the story—a star-crossed team cursed by the 1919 Black Sox—erases 88 years of failure and wins the 2005 World Series championship. Lauch and McGuffey deliver an extraordinary historical documentary that includes fresh interviews with all the key participants, except pitcher Mark Buehrle who declined. “Mark respectfully declined multiple interview requests. (He) wanted the focus to be on his current season,” said McGuffey. Lauch did reveal “that Buehrle’s wife saw the film trailer on the Thursday (April 9th) and loved it.” Primetime Emmy & Tony Award winner, current star of Showtime’s acclaimed drama series “Homeland”, and lifelong White Sox fan Mandy Patinkin, narrates the film in an under-stated fashion that retains a hint of his Southside roots and loyalties. The 76 minute-long “Believe” features all of the signature

  • RICHIE HEBNER; ; the MAN IS FULL of LIFE - and SO IS HIS HOT BAT - the Boston Globe Archives
    12/15/2015 RICHIE HEBNER; ; THE MAN IS FULL OF LIFE - AND SO IS HIS HOT BAT - The Boston Globe Archives RICHIE HEBNER; ; THE MAN IS FULL OF LIFE - AND SO IS HIS HOT BAT [FIRST Edition] Boston Globe (pre-1997 Fulltext) - Boston, Mass. Author: Steve Marantz Globe Staff Date: Jul 13, 1980 Start Page: 1 Section: SPORTS Document Text Richie Hebner, who digs graves in the winter, plays baseball in Detroit in the summer. People who spend time in cemeteries and Detroit are either dead or contemplating death, but Hebner had 25 RBIs in the 20 games before the All- Star break. If that is dead, the Red Sox had better start scouting cadavers. As a matter of fact Richie Hebner is very much alive and enjoying himself, which is his nature. A great hockey fan, Hebner once showed up at a Bruins practice at the Spectrum during the playoffs. Next day, Don Cherry was wearing a Phillies hat in practice. The final word on Hebner's irrepressibility is that he has found the lighter side of Detroit. His story began when the Tigers closed their right- field bleacher section in June due to unruly fans. "They reopened the bleachers and started checking everybody at the gate," said Hebner. "One guy shows up in a wheelchair with a blanket over his legs. They checked under the blanket and found a case of beer. They told him he couldn't take it in Tiger Stadium. "The guy said, Well I can't get around like other people. I'm not gonna bother nobody.' "They said, You can't do it,' so the guy gets off his wheelchair, says To hell with you,' and walks off with the beer." Hebner's laughter caught the wind over Mud Pond Wednesday, the last day of the All-Star break.

  • Heroes and Rallies Baseball
    Heroes and Rallies Baseball Setup Pick two teams to go head to head, and fill out your lineups on the scoresheet. Each team receives 8 skill assignments to give to individual players. All of the skill assignments listed below must be used within your starting lineup for a total of 8. A player may possess two assignments if you wish. Rate your lineup by placing the appropriate notation beside a player’s name on the scoresheet. 1) star hitter (H) 2) star slugger (S) 3) star runner (R) 4) star fielder (F) 5) poor hitter (H-) 6) weak hitter (S-) 7) slow runner (R-) 8) poor fielder (F-) Once a player has a skill assignment, he cannot transfer it to another player. There is one additional skill assignment available for an ace pitcher (X). You may, however, choose not to start one. Make any pitcher a poor hitter as well (H-), so there will be two poor hitters if a pitcher is in the lineup. Game Play Roll the dice for each player who comes up to bat, reading the colored die first and the white die second. If a result occurs on the Batting chart which displays an image of a ballplayer, the inning is considered finished with no further scoring. Draw an X in the box on the scoresheet representing the current hitter’s at-bat. When his team next comes up to bat, the next player in the lineup will hit. If the color of a chart result corresponds to the color of the skill assignment of the player who is currently up to bat, the result changes to the one shown on the bottom of the Batting chart.
