My South Side heroes, the Chicago White Sox, have played only 3 spring training games so far, and I know I shouldn't get too excited too early, but the Sox won all three of those games and scored 24 runs in the process. They are currently playing like the '27 Yankees. Has White Sox GM Chris Getz managed to put together a contender only two years after the team lost 121 games and set the record for worst team in the history of major league baseball? Did he sell his soul to the devil in exchange for winning it all this year? Did the Pope put in a good word for the White Sox with the big man upstairs? Will the fans at Rate Field be singing "Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye" once again as the opposing pitchers leave the game? Have the "South Side Hit Men" returned after all these years? Only time will tell. Perhaps even as soon as this week. But you have to admit, it is indeed a good start. By the way, the photograph above is of Yoan Moncada, currently third baseman for the Los Angeles Angels, who parted ways with the White Sox after the 2024 season. And yes, that was the season the White Sox lost those 121 games. Couldn't have done it without you, Yoan!
