    • Is there hope for the White Sox future?
    Exclusive imaging of the White Sox analytics department.

There are four teams to examine that represent a relatively quick turnaround, ea...2024
  • • Lest We Forget: Billy Bean
    I must admit, when I first saw the headline, I though it was Billy Beane, the former GM of the Oakland As for the Moneyball phenomenon.

    Just take a look, it’s in a book. When I was about 10 years old, I got really into baseball.
