Umpires Invited To White Sox Victory Parade
CHICAGO--Several umpires were invited to the Chicago White Sox victory parade on Friday, where they were honored by fans for their contributions to the White Sox World Series victory. Jeff Nelson and Doug Eddings were among those in attendance.
“The Chicago White Sox owe a deep debit of gratitude to all of our postseason umpiring crews,” owner Jerry Reisdorf told the 1.7 million fans in attendance. “Doug Eddings, who can forget you’re call in Game 2 when you awarded AJ Pierzynski first base on strike three? And how about Jeff Nelson awarding first base to Jermaine Dye after a pitch struck his bat handle? Holy ****, are you blind? That was awesome. Anyway, I hereby award you the key to the city. Don’t lose it.”
