Erasing History: first the Department of Defense, now MLB

Every year since 2004, Major League Baseball has made April 15 Jackie Robinson Day. For those that somehow don’t know, Jackie became the first African-American player in MLB by breaking the color barrier on April 15, 1947. Earlier this year, the Department of Defense deleted the post on its website that honored Jackie’s military history while cleaning out all “DEI” topics on the site.
How a Loved One’s Hurt Became My Fuel

Aug 19, 2024 | medium.com | Dante Jones

Life has a way of testing us through the people we hold closest. The ones we trust the most are often the ones who can hurt us the deepest. It’s a pain that cuts through the heart, leaving us questioning everything. But here’s the thing — pain can either break you or make you. When someone you love betrays you, it’s easy to let that pain consume you, to let it dictate your actions and your future.
Rest in Peace, Willie Mays

Greatness is something that you usually can’t measure. You just see it and know it. Willie Mays personified that. Mays had 660 home runs, 3,293 hits, and some of the most spectacular fielding ever seen. Over his 22 years playing, Mays won Rookie of the Year, two Most Valuable Players, 12 Gold Gloves, a batting title and the 1954 World Series.
MartÃn Maldonado, All-Star? Put your votes where your mouth is

By Dante Jones via South Side Sox, Well, I guess the fans have spoken The Chicago White Sox are on track to be one of the worst teams in history. In my personal case, I have attended three games and seen zero wins. The "bright spots" have been the fact that the starting pitching hasn't been completely abysmal. In fact, I believe that the representative for the White Sox at the All-Star Game in Texas will be a starting pitcher.

A White Sox diss

May 15, 2024 | southsidesox.com | Dante Jones

Over the last few weeks, rappers Drake and Kendrick Lamar (with others getting involved at random) have been battling for the right to be the King of Rap. Now, I will not be going into detail about the things that they have said on these songs, as those things have no place on South Side Sox, but in my mind, what Lamar said to Drake on Euphoria had some lines that could relate to the team that we occasionally hate.

In a live YouTube/Twitter/Facebook event as the game got underway last night, a group of us (Dante Jones, Melissa Sage-Bollenbach, Joe Resis, Malachi Hayes, Hannah LaMotta, Brett Ballantini) went watched the start of the game to see whether the White Sox start would end up even worse than that of the worst-ever Cleveland Spiders. Spoiler alert: It did.
Chicago White Sox Baseball 2024: a mess

Apr 15, 2024 | southsidesox.com | Dante Jones

Dear reader, it is April 15 and the Chicago White Sox are the worst team in baseball. Even worse than the Miami Marlins, who employ former White Sox Avisaíl García, Jake Burger and Tim Anderson. Worse than the Colorado Rockies, who haven’t tried to field a competitive team since before masking was a thing. Worse than the Kansas City Royals, who seem to be our favorite team to steal from.
Chicago White Sox Food Preview 2024

Mar 28, 2024 | bvmsports.com | Dante Jones

I had the opportunity to try some of the newest offerings at Guaranteed Rate Field! The Chicago White Sox invited the South Side Sox crew to Guaranteed Rate Field's newly-redesigned Vizzy View Bar for a sampling of the team's newest in stadium food offerings and a preview of some of the promotional giveaways coming up this season. I talked with Bret Donaldson, executive chef for Delaware North about a few of the newest offerings - in particular the Impossible Hot Dogs, which are 100% plant based.
