Then and Now


Five years ago starting this week, Clare was on a homerun binge, hitting three, two of them three-run jobs.  Today, Clare will be having dinner with us after working a half-day on Saturday.  Her fiancé Chris is watching spring practice at Western Michigan University, where his old Elmhurst coach is now the head football coach.

Five years ago this week, the White Sox embarked on what so far is their last season over .500, when they finished 85-77.  After four seasons of mediocrity—this despite having Chris Sale, the best left-handed starter in baseball—the Sox are in rebuilding mode, sans Sale.  How nice.

Five years ago, Paul Konerko had his last really good season, hitting .298 with 75 rbi’s.  This will be Konerko’s third year of retirement—and A.J. Pierzynski’s first.

Time waits for no one.
