White Sox clubhouse drama: pitcher cuts up throwback jerseys
White Sox star pitcher Chris Sale was all over the national news this weekend for reportedly cutting up all of the team’s 1976 throwback jerseys Saturday. It was a brutally hot and humid evening for a baseball game, and he reportedly thought the collared jerseys would make it even harder to play and that “PR and jersey sales” were more important to the team than winning. Sale is arguably the White Sox’ best player, but the team still suspended him for five games. [SB Nation]
