Happy Tuesday, White Sox friends, and happy birthday to hypothetical slugger Gavin Sheets. We’ve got a lot to unpack today, so I’ll open with a quote from South Side legend Bill Veeck:
“The most beautiful thing in the world is a ballpark filled with people.”
That would make the 2024 Chicago White Sox hideous. Mirror-shattering. Handsomen’t.
Luckily, the White Sox faced the Minnesota Twins tonight at Target Field, and not at home, where a sea of empty seats looms for the foreseeable future. Despite the Twins and the White Sox ranking 29th and 30th in hits per game, Minnesota doesn’t have any issues with fan attendance, even with an exciting Timberwolves playoff game going on across the street at Target Center.
