October 1, 2006 - Dave Martin represents Sox at All-Star Game

The Mid-summer Classic was rained out in July and rescheduled after the end of the season. As a result, Dave Martin was the lone White Sox All-Star in attendance. Will Bissonnette, Jason Hoye and Chris Stone had also been selected. The reschedule was also shortened due to rain, called after 7 innings, with the Bay State beating the Atlantic 7 to 5 at historic LeLacheur Park in Lowell, Massachusetts.

August 5, 2006 - Jason Hoye joins Irish National team

Jason Hoye is trading the black & white for the green & white of the Irish National Baseball Team. Hoye was selected to play for the Irish National team in their upcomming Euorpean Chamionships. We wish Jason and the rest of the squad the best of luck, and eagerly await his return to the Sox in mid-August.

In Hoye's first start for the Irish National Team against Slovakia, he hit a homerun. UPDATE: IRISH TAKE SILVER MEDAL AT EUROPEAN OLYMPIC QUALIFIER Ireland lost to Croatia 12 -2 in the European Championship Final on Saturday, August 5th. At the end of the day, Croatia are deserved Champions. They only gave up eight runs for the entire tournament and down the stretch, they allowed just three runs in three games. Ireland leaves this tournament as well deserved Silver Medalists having only lost to Croatia and beaten the heavily favoured Belgians in one of the games of the tournament. The Irish National also defeated Slovakia (6-2) and Norway (7-1) in their first games. Learn more.

April 8, 2006 - Sox Take Carroll with the 11th Pick

Eric Carroll

Eric Carroll impressed White Sox scouts with his play at SS and 3B during the 2006 Boston Men's Baseball League Draft. Eric was the lone White Sox draftee to join the team for the 2006 campaign. He will add depth to the White Sox infield and should be a good addition to the lineup.
