Boy, I almost wish I was a fly on the wall at Kenny Williams’ Q&A at SoxFest last weekend.
“We want answers,” declared one fan among a crowd that swelled to about 150 during the first day of the fans’ gathering.
“You don’t have a starting center fielder” and “somebody’s got some explaining to do,” were the other declarations at the start of a scheduled 30-minute session that was extended to 65 minutes.
To Williams’ credit, he apparently handled everything calmly.
“I will take a risk on a high-ceiling players and jeopardize my reputation if I think that player fits into the equation and leads us to a championship if things go the way we think they will,” Williams said during a five-minute reply that finished with applause.
“If you leave here today, understand this: every move, every decision we make is in an effort to win a championship.”
Thanks to South Side Sox for their round up of media links about SoxFest. I hope everyone who went had a good time.
