The Chicago White Sox SoxFest fan convention, was held downtown this weekend (January 24-26) at the Palmer House Hilton. It was not very well attended. Rumors are that the Cubs Convention, this past weekend, did not sell out for the first time in its 29 year history. Easy to understand why Soxfest and Cubs Con had so much less interest than usual- it was truly the worst season in Chicago baseball history
Del Yates, of Major Onions and ND Pre and Post on WLS 890, joins The Lineup to discuss the offseason of the Cubs, the front office issues and the rooftops conflict with the Cubs. Yates also talks White Sox and Soxfest with Eli Hershkovich and Tom Bostwick.
Pretty insightful stuff, especially about Hawk Harrelson and how he acts when he’s not on stage. How Harrelson’s bit really is just a show for the cameras. The behind the scenes at Soxfest is good stuff too.
