Alexei seeking replacement for lost gold medal
By Scott Merkin / MLB.com | 03/01/12 5:25 PM EST
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- From time to time, Alexei Ramirez logs on to
his computer and takes a quick trip over to eBay.
Ramirez is not in search of a slightly used DVD copy of "Casino"
or a signed picture of Christina Applegate or an authentic Paul
Konerko rookie card, which all probably could be had for the
right price on the site.
No, the White Sox shortstop's pursuit falls upon one item -- a
gold medal from the 2004 Summer Olympic Games held in Athens,
Greece. That particular medal belongs to Ramirez as part of
Cuba's champion baseball squad.
But in Ramirez's travels from the Dominican Republic to Miami to
Chicago, after departing Cuba and signing with the White Sox
prior to the 2008 season, Ramirez's gold medal disappeared. It
was placed in a special case with approximately 15 other medals
won during Ramirez's competitive days in his homeland.

Ventura's fresh outlook
The White Sox's new skipper is bringing a new style to the South
Side
By Jerry Crasnick | ESPN.com | Updated: March 15, 2012, 1:16 PM
ET
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Robin Ventura, the 39th manager in Chicago
White Sox history, subscribes to the Bobby Cox theory of media
relations: Workplace squabbles should be kept in-house, and any
disagreements should be addressed in a publicity vacuum. Even
players who jog out ground balls or put their own interests
above the good of the team will receive their verbal spankings
in the solitude of his office. If they want to go out and vent
to the cameras afterward, that's their business.
As anyone with access to Twitter, YouTube, WGN, Chicago talk
radio or a Tribune or Sun-Times subscription can attest, that's
a radical departure from Ventura's predecessor, Ozzie Guillen.
Just as Larry Bowa begat Terry Francona in Philadelphia and the
mild-mannered Ron Roenicke succeeded the old-school Ken Macha in
Milwaukee, the White Sox are doing a stylistic 180 with their
manager.
"Anybody next to Ozzie is going to be a big difference," says
long-time White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper. "Everybody knows
that Ozzie shoots from the lip, and Robin is the antithesis of
that. He's the bizarro-world opposite. I don't know how much
thought went into it, to tell you the truth. But when I first
heard he was hired, I thought, 'This is a pretty smart idea.'"

does.

Now there is someone who really knows the history of Dick Allen.
Remember having to have his brother Hank on the team too. He was
horrible.

It's funny though, he was Wee Jeter's favorite player! I was at
that game where he hit that rising liner into the CF stands. .
.but I guess everyone says they were at that game.
Why did this topic get pinned?
