Angelica Flores didn’t grow up watching sports, but at Friday’s game against the Colorado Rockies, she wholeheartedly embraced the Sox fandom.The game was at least her eighth this season, she said.“But we watch every night,” said her boyfriend, Miguel Ortega. “Every game. Sometimes wear Po pe hats too to bring them good luck.”The DeKalb couple has been together for five years. That was her first introduction to the team she now dons black and white for religiously.Ortega, 30, has been going to Sox games for decades and grew up loving the team.The couple was among many fans at Rate Field who have caught postseason fever after the Sox clinched a postseason berth for the first time since 2021. For Will Barbee, 53, Friday was an opportunity to share the winning spirit with his 14 children.Barbee and his kids, who ranged in age from 6 to 23, don’t often get to attend a game all together. So it was made even sweeter that this one comes 24 hours after the team qualified for playoff baseball.“The crowd speaks for itself,” Barbee said. “When you're good, people watch you. They follow you. When you're bad, only those people who understand the game show up.” White Sox fans dance to mariachi music while tailgating outside Rate Field before a Chicago game against the Colorado Rockies.Kameron Clepper/For the Sun-Times Julie Belka shows off her custom-made White Sox-inspired painted nails outside Rate Field before a game against the Colorado Rockies.Kameron Clepper/For the Sun-Times Harvey Smith wears a hat that features a pin of former White Sox player and manager Ozzie Guillen outside Rate Field in anticipation of a game against the Colorado Rockies.Kameron Clepper/For the Sun-Times Longtime fan Jose Ramirez flaunts his White Sox-themed attire outside Rate Field.Kameron Clepper/For the Sun-Times White Sox fan James Champion poses with a pigeon outside Rate Field before a game against the Colorado Rockies.Kameron Clepper/For the Sun-Times Fans pose with Hispanic Heritage Month-themed mascots outside Rate Field ahead of a White Sox game versus the Colorado Rockies.Kameron Clepper/For the Sun-Times Will Barbee, 53, stands alongside his children outside Rate Field in anticipation of a Chicago White Sox game against the Colorado Rockies.Kameron Clepper/For the Sun-Times ...read more read less
