Hockey Guys I Remember.
Portraits of 21st century hockey immortals Martin St. Pierre, Scott Darling, Alexei Zhamnov, MacKenzie Entwistle, Johnny Oduya, Marcus Krüger, Richard Pánik, Cristobal Huet, and the late, great Ray Emery. Hockey-Reference lacks phots of Huet, and, unbelievably, Zhamnov, so they are faceless shadows.

Basketball Guys I Remember.
Portraits of 21st century basketball immortals Thabo Sefalosha, David Nwaba, Alize Johnson, Dalibor Bagarić, Othella Harrington, Rusty LaRue, John Salmons, Andrés Nocioni. and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson. Sadly, Basketball-Reference does not have photographs of Bagarić or Harrington so they exist as faceless shadows.

The White Sox promotions department did a lovely job with the Bill Veeck bobblehead, including the box.
The box for the Bill Veeck Night bobblehead contains a picture of his smiling face, with the words "Veeck as in Wreck" below it. A bobblehead of Bill Veeck holding Nellie Fox's jersey stands atop the box featuring Veeck above his exploding scoreboard.

42 years ago today, the White Sox traded Tony Bernazard to the Mariners for Julio Cruz, maybe the most consequential ninth hitter in team history. After a slow start to the season, the White Sox caught fire and ran away with the AL West for their first pennant of any sort since 1959.
White Sox second baseman Julio Cruz appears to be doing a cartwheel.

Many prominent Illinois figures have written letters to the judge ahead of sentencing convicted former Illinois Speaker Michael Madigan. White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf recounts the midnight deal for New Comiskey as a reason to show leniency.

(Another reason, the octogenarian writes, is age.)
Jerry Reinsdorf claims economic and performance benefits of New Comiskey in his letter asking the judge to be lenient when sentencing former Illinois Speaker Michael Madigan to prison.

From the cheap seats, a view of Miguel Vargas knocking a Tylor Megill meatball into the LF stands below me in the first inning (in the innocent times before Jonathan Cannon stepped on the mound).

A DeBartolo in baseball?
Bill Veeck announces a sale of the White Sox to Edward DeBartolo in late 1980. MLB ownership voted down the sale, eventually leading Veeck to sell to the group led by Jerry Reinsdorf and Eddie Einhorn in early 1981.

The Athletic's anonymous agent poll shows the Blackhawks as the answer to one question: Which is the most unstable or poorly run franchise? www.nytimes.com/athletic/615...
The anonymous agent poll gives the Blackhawks low marks for a perceived mismanagement of their rebuild, especially after adding Connor Bedard.

Yesterday's Immaculate Grid was one of my favorites.
Immaculate grid featured all White Sox players: George Davis, Dick Allen, George Kell, Bill Melton, Al Smith, Ron Kittle, Floyd Robinson, Carl Reynolds, and Smead Jolley. Who doesn't love the name Smead Jolley?

The one vote shy of unanimous pairs Ichiro with Jeter. Perhaps due to this story? www.nytimes.com/athletic/267...
Ichiro Suzuki loved calling Derek Jeter by his middle name of Sanderson.
