CERTIFIED IRRELEVANT: White Sox players and their license plates

16 04 2008

Question: if you were a prominent professional athlete, would you prefer to keep some anonymity or flaunt it to every maniac traversing down the Kennedy?

Apparently, White Sox DH Jim Thome says ‘if you got it, flaunt it’, as JM, traveling home from work on the inbound Kennedy last Friday afternoon, found himself traveling behind this:

Yup, that’s a white Pontiac Vibe with Sox and Under Armor decals in the windows and a World Champion license plate cover. Although I couldn’t get a real good look, it seemed to be Thome at the helm, slugging through almost-rush-hour traffic like so many home runs.

  Apparently I caught him on the way to a frustrating evening.
