Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

While some celebrate this holiday by downing green beer or eating Irish foods, some celebrate by donning green uniforms and auctioning off said uniforms for charity. Some of the names change year to year, but the uniform remains.

Now, we only have to wait until September before the green uniforms reappear for Halfway to St. Patrick's Day. Rarely seen, like leprechauns themselves, these green uniforms are supposed to bring luck to the White Sox team that wears them.

Today brought a loss of 7-6 in 10 innings to the Diamondbacks. Luck comes with two sides. The upside and the downside. There are two sides to every bit of luck. Just like The Schwartz.

Will the White Sox find the upside of luck when the green uniforms reappear during the season? Let's hope so!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patricks Day

The White Sox usually wear green on St. Patrick's Day. This year, they didn't. I don't know if that was because they were at the Brewers training facility or what. The Brewers got to wear green caps though.

I remember each Spring Training that the Sox would wear their green uniforms and then auction them off for charity. But anyone can show a Sox player in a green uniform. Who can show a picture of a White Sox green coin? Me, that's who. It isn't mine, but I was able to find an example of one online.

This is a green variation of a 1959 Armour Baseball Coin of Nellie Fox. I don't know much about these coins, but I do know that I love the color of this plastic coin. I figured this would be the perfect item to showcase today.
