1 day ago | chicago.suntimes.com | Cindy Hernandez

Pope Leo XIV’s childhood home in south suburban Dolton will be sold to the highest bidder in an online auction next month.

The franchises were on opposite trajectories – the White Sox rebuilding and the Cubs nursing playoff aspirations.

For a lot of hitters, Cubs hitting coach Dustin Kelly would talk through the situation before they stepped into the batter’s box with one out in the ninth inning, runners on first and third, in a one-run game. Look for a pitch you can lift. Make sure you don’t hit into a double play. Not Justin Turner. “I’ve seen Justin for a long time just be really clutch in those situations,” said Kelly, who overlapped with Turner in the Dodgers organization. “...

A significant, large-scale work by the late artist Sol LeWitt has vanished from the exterior of a federally-owned downtown building — and the government agency in charge of the piece refuses to say why. “Lines in Four Directions,” a 90-foot-by-72-foot artwork, had been mounted on the west facade of 10 W. Jackson Blvd., an office building owned by the U.S. General Services Administration. Has it been removed — or just covered up?

Skye Blue started wrestling out of defiance. She remembered being in high school watching tables, ladders, and chairs matches, observing wrestlers perform in dangerous but exhilarating spots. Blue turned to her mom and told her, ‘I’m gonna do that one day.’ Blue said her mom responded, “No, you’re not.” Her mom’s disapproval didn’t deter Blue from wrestling. In fact, it emboldened her. “Later that week, I signed myself up for wrestling school,” Blue told the Sun-Times.
