As a former White Sox fan nostalgic for Magglio, was endearing to learn this from his Wiki after someone posted his walk-off ALCS homerun the other day.

  1. This thread will surely be a rational and intelligent discussion of people with deep understanding, and no bias involving, Venezuelan politics and Bolivarian thought.

  3. For some reason in my head his name has always sounded like a swear word. So instead of exclaiming “sh#t!” or “f#*k!” I will sometimes give a forceful “Maggilo Ordonez!”

  6. I remember people at my summer camp wearing long black wigs and Tigers hats back when Magglio had the long hair

  8. *former and still current White Sox fan. Don’t know why I put that in the post.

    I used to be a White Sox fan. I still am, but I used to, too. – RIP Mitch

  9. Magglio’s political home run! Never saw that coming. Who knew the diamond translated to city halls?

  11. Was almost a Red Sox so excited for him, also had some great postseason moments that I remember

  13. This is interesting.. I remember him stirring up a lot of controversy for his staunch support of Hugo Chavez.

  14. Weird story but I once met actor Jeff Daniels and he had a few of his dogs with him. I asked what their names were and one of them was Magglio – turns out he is a huge Tigers fan and got the dog shortly after the ALCS walkoff. Got to chat baseball with him for a bit – really awesome guy

  16. I always liked Magglio, especially because my youth baseball team was called the White Sox and I wore #30. I caught his debut on WGN and was like “wow this guy is wearing my number!”.

  20. I still remember my first game when Raul Mondesi homered in the home opener. My first real baseball memory. Decades later, I learned he became a Dominican politician, later convicted and imprisoned for corruption.

  21. Damn I remember him being a solid player player but I just checked his BR page and he was stellar even late in his career.
