I recently was going through the members list to see how many members and variety of usernames. After going through all 2252 members on this site it caught my eye at the number of members who have never even had a post after joining Sox Prospects Forum . I actually counted and it came to the number of members who have 0 to 10 post since joining and it was in the range of 1,800-1,900. Mike Andrews the Founder Administrator Editor in Chief of Sox Prospects noted on May 12th of 2017 that there were 450 of 2100 members who had posted in a 30 day.
So I thought what if the week before spring training we asked all members to post on this thread. The challenge lies in having the staff veterans moderators rookies and new members of SoxProspects to post here. I especially want members who have joined since 2012 to the present who have zero posts to do so here. Tell everyone your favorite prospect past and present ,most memorable game , share a story etc. Explain your the origin of your username. And there are some interesting usernames out there to say the least. I realize that some members have an extra username,even so use it once in this thread. The goal I have is by spring training pitchers and catchers on February 14th to have 2252 posts on this thread and that's not including the new members who I hope will sign up and become new members here.
Remember no one will judge or dismiss your post. Please let's have fun remembering the past and the beginning of the Future Stars on this site. It's 11:35 a.m. Thursday February 8th. 2252 posts starting now.

It's not on your list and it's from a previous incarnation of this board, but since it came up recently in another thread I feel the need to nominate Executive Director Arquimedez Bozo Always liked that one. - Dick |

Just a reminder that one of the goals was to bring in some of members who had joined and not yet made a post. I appreciate some of the veterans sharing some interesting stories but I would also like at least one staff member to place a post and I say at least one would prefer more but let's start with one and work from there. I've watched the users online statistics lately and I watched at least 15 new members without a post login but not place a post. Please join in and place a post here,break the drought,have fun. We've 8 different members place a post here so we're 8/2252ths of the way there. Not sure if 8/2252ths is an actual fraction....but

No love for Left Coast Bosox Fan Question; isn't it tomorrow,today right now where you are? Not when you posted it. We're 12 hours ahead of East Coast Time. For a small fee I can tell you who won 12 hours earlier than you will know. |

Voiceofreason says it all but I am sure some would disagree.
Favorite prospect is hard but I will say Bucholtz was exciting to watch and then he threw a no hitter in his second ML start so he had us all expecting the 2nd coming only to be left at the alter. Presently I would say Devers, whom I think will be a star starting this year. I think he will surprise some people this year.
Favorite game would be games 3 and 4 in St Louis to end the curse, I was lucky enough to be there.
Hey all you guys sitting on the fence.... take the leap and post something. Nobody is going to bite your head off.... yet.

I became a Sox fan in 1967 and they really broke my heart for the first time when Jim Lonborg broke his leg skiing not far from my home the following winter.

This is for all of the members that have zero posts or haven't posted in awhile or the people who are thinking of signing on. It may not be as dramatic as this but at least step into the batters box.
