Bananas had AJ pierzynski and Paul Konerko bat this weekend during games at the White Sox stadium. Mark Buerhle pitched, and Ozzie Guillen coached as well.

Such a good idea to pull in local retired players. The fans love seeing old favorites, and my guess is that the players get a kick out of it, too.

The ovations for Wilson Ramos this year, and Gio last year, at Nats park were incredible.

Growing up in Chicago as a White Sox fan during Kerry Wood's prime, I couldn't stand the guy and thought he was way overrated. But throwing that for a strike is just sick. If you hate that, you hate fun.

If Wood had that in his arsenal in Game 7 of the 2003 NCLS, the Cubs might have won it.

I was as well, and while his talent was unmistakable, 2003 pretty much marked the end of his great run...
