Sox Day in Chicago


The White Sox had a motorcade from US Cellular Field to the north end of the Loop today. Here’s Ozzie Guillen at the front of one of the buses.
This was the first ticker-tape parade I’ve ever seen, and it was very cool. Here’s the sky with a couple people on top of the LaSalle Bank Building tossing bagfuls of confetti (the picture is small, but trust me, they’re there):

The morning was pretty cloudy, but by the time the Sox made it to LaSalle Street the sky had turned clear and blue.

I’ve heard several estimates of how many people were there (1.5 million was the last count). All I know is I personally saw hundreds just passing between the Sears Tower and the corner of Adams and Wells.
The parade ended with a rally next to the Chicago River. The crowds only grew thicker as we went north, so I went back to the office. 🙂
It was a great day to welcome home the hometown winners.
