I don't know if anyone cares but I noticed that the White sox have all the players numbers up there now.

Aaron Rowand is now 33
Garland is now 20
Jimenez is now 5
Rick White is 50
Gordon is 46
Rios is 28
Olivo is 8
Hummel is 18
Ginter is 32
Adkins is 37

Malone is 29


And there are some others

Brook Fordyce - Number 8
Charles Johnson - Number 8
Now, Miguel Olivo - Number 8

I don't like what history tells me... :smile:

Speaking of uniforms, and history, here's a cool link (http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/cws/history/cws_history_logo.jsp) I found that shows the White Sox uniforms throughout their franchise.

Does this mean Rowand likes Rolling Rock? Can Rolling Rock Rowand be his nickname?

[WhiteSox = Life]

You'll have to discuss that with the "Crash" Camp. Or, the ones that like "Dirtbike."

:smile:

Actually fordyce wasn't too bad of a catcher when he was on the White Sox and Johnson was pretty good for the 135 ABs he had for the White Sox.

[WhiteSox = Life]

Right, but they're both long gone now, aren't they?

:smile:

Someone remind me, was Garland 20 or 19 when he pitched in his first major league game.

Thats interesting seeing all of the new uniform numbers....
pretty cool. I actually knew at SoxFest that Rowand was
going to use "33". I forgot to ask him when I saw him, but
over drinks in the bar after SoxFest, (like how I slipped that in
there? heh heh) I asked Joltin' Joe Borchard what # Rowand
was going with and he told me. We got a lot of info at
soxfest that weekend. I wonder why Garland went to # 20 ??
Guess it mustve been to change his luck this year.

thanks for the info

Isnt it funny how certain names go with certain numbers??

I see here that Jon Adkins is going with 37 now.
That number fits well with him....

[doctor30th]

I think Garland was 19 for his debut, but maybe he got his first win when he was 20 or something.

[doctor30th]

Sorry, strike that Garland was 20 when he made his ML debut, that's probably why.

I would say sure lets call him Rolling Rock Rowand, except then people will start calling him Triple R and does anyone want that?

So at least we determined 8 isn't a completely cursed number. I hope.
