Could It Be?

That's right, the thoughts and ideas from my last post could possibly come true. White Sox GM Kenny Williams announced today that the trade for Ken Griffey Jr. is official.

More Than a Ballgame - Or Is It?

The stadium is packed with over 39,000 cheering fans – a sellout crowd all hyped up just to see a ballgame at US Cellular Field. This isn't just a ballgame however, it's the Crosstown Classic.
