The White Sox
started the season at home against the Twins, in March. What could possibly be wrong with that?
Not the weather,
with temperatures in the windblown sixties.
Not Alejandro De Aza, the first Sox player to hit two opening-day homers
at home since Minnie Minoso in 1960. Not
Chris Sale, who picked up the win pitching into the eighth. Not Ronald Belisario, who made his White Sox
debut on the mound by showing off a classic Chicago beer belly. And not Cuban exile Jose Abreu, who had two
line-drive hits and for a day at least looks like he can handle the hard stuff.
No, the problem was
Paul Konerko, missing his first-ever Sox opener in sixteen years. Clare was six when Konerko played for the
first time on the South Side, and now she’s 22.
Time is relentless.
