, but:Last week the show was about special people and a man from your area, who was a huge White Sox fan, was honored. Seems he has been waiting for all these years for the magic that came your way this fall. Had actually only been a season ticket holder for 5 years but did have 2 World Series tickets this October.
Prior to attending the first WS game, this man was struggling with feelings of helplessness about the Katrina situation. He finally decided that he couldn't attend the games, sold the tickets and with the money he bought supplies, filled up a van and drove down there.
This was reported on some news station and Mark Buehrle and his wife saw the story. The White Sox decided this man should be recognized so they called OPRAH.
On her show the man was suprised by Buehrle and Posednik. They presented him with:
1. An official jersey with his name and '05 on the back.
2. Thew invited him to come throw out the first pitch on opening day.
3. They are flying him and a guest in for Spring Training and a little BP.
4. They are flying him and a guest to the All Star festivities.
5. They are paying for his season tickets for the year.
It was just an amazing thing to watch. Goosebumps and tears. Reinforces the idea that you make your life by what you give.
BRAVO White Sox!
