As of today, my South Side heroes, the Chicago White Sox, are in first place in the American League Central Division, a full five games in front of the Cleveland Indians. Of course, one thing I don't want is for the White Sox to peak too soon. Their North Side rivals, the Chicago Cubs, often do this, and after a strong start, lose almost every game during August and September. And by the way, the above photograph was taken at Payne Park in Sarasota, Florida, back in March of 1985, before the White Sox deserted that historic spring training facility for the greener pastures of Arizona. And, I might add, I have visited the Phoenix area, where the White Sox now train, and have to report that there is very little green out there.
