She also designed all six Bulls Championship rings. *432 rings and 163 pendants were made for White Sox players, staff, and employees. *There is only one version of the 2005 World Series Championship ring. *Josten's of Princeton, IL produced the rings. *The rings and pendants are made of 14-karat yellow gold with a 14-karat white gold insert and a White Sox logo crest on a black onyx base stone. *Each ring and pendant contains 95 brilliant diamonds of various sizes equalling over two carats.
Comments
This is not a comment but I have a question about old time baseball scoring.
In Babe Ruth's era wasn't there a rule that you did not get credit for a Home Run if you did not need the run to win the game? If this is true, how many of these did Ruth have?

My Kids Have decided to call Jim Thome Mr. Incredible, Not just cause he's incredible but he looks just like Mr. Incredible from the Incredibles Movie. I think its cute and is the nickname we give him.
I Love Them Sox!
