HOF exhibit to honor White Sox

11/15/2005
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. -- Scott Podsednik's bat, used to hit the game-ending home run in Game 2 of the World Series, plus Freddy Garcia's cap from the decisive fourth game will be on display at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum as part of an exhibit honoring the World Series champion Chicago White Sox.
The Hall of Fame will hold a ribbon-cutting and dedication on Wednesday for the "South Side Sweep" exhibit.
Among the other artifacts on display will be the bat used by Geoff Blum to hit the game-winning home run in Game 3; a road jersey worn by Series' MVP Jermaine Dye; the warmup fleece worn by White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen; and third baseman Joe Crede's glove, which he used the entire regular season and postseason.
The White Sox won their first World Series since 1917 with a four-game sweep of the Houston Astros, including a marathon 14-inning win in Game 3.
Other items that will be featured in the exhibit include the jersey Houston's Jeff Bagwell wore in the last game; Craig Biggio's spikes; and baseballs hit by Lance Berkman and Chris Burke, which were both caught by Astros fan Shaun Dean in Game 4 of the National League Division Series. Biggio holds the record for most regular season games played before making it to the World Series.
There also will be some dirt from the pitcher's mound at Minute Maid Park from the first World Series game ever played in Texas. The exhibit will include press pins from both teams, game programs, and newspaper accounts of the series.
Ted Spencer, Hall of Fame vice president and chief curator, will formally dedicate the exhibit with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday, featuring Museum visitors.
The artifacts will be on display at the Hall of Fame through October 2006.
