After taking a break from my “Best Baseball Commercials” series, I have decided that now is the perfect time to stage a comeback with Part 8, the Chicago White Sox. After watching my boys do some work this past week, sweeping two crucial road series against Cleveland and Boston, I feel that it is necessary to post the best White Sox commercials both as a sign of my support, as well as with the hope that it keeps them rolling.
After beating the Tigers 5-4 in 10 innings on Monday afternoon, the surging White Sox have now won 7 in a row, all on the road. As the series with the Minnesota Twins on September 14-16 edges a little closer every day, there’s really only one thing that must be said:
In the words of Hawk Harrelson, “Don’t stop now, boys!”
Carlos Quentin’s Swing:
[hdplay id=10 ]
The Sodfather:
[hdplay id=11 ]
Lefty:
[hdplay id=12 ]
Thome’s HR:
[hdplay id=13 ]
Is there anybody who can find the White Sox team commercials from the ‘90s? In particular, I have endlessly searched for a commercial featuring Julio Franco, in which he is standing next to a gramophone, singing a song in which baseball terms are the only lyrics. It is kind of like, “the double-play…….the RBI……”
Come on White Sox fans, help me out!
Yes that Julio Franco commercial was an “instant classic” I have been unable to find it but many board like this confirm the greatness of the ad and the era in white sox baseball.
