My all-time favorite White Sox player, Harold Baines, recently had a statue of himself unveiled at Comiskey Park (I won't call it by that other name) on July 20th.
This is none class act, and you never would catch him complaining or bemoaning things. I almost turned in my White Sox Fan card when they traded him to Texas in 1989, and, among others, received the pre-steroid Sammy Sosa.
Baines was with the Sox three different times during his playing career with the best being 1980-1989. He is back again today as a coach with Ozzie Guillen.
BELONGS IN THE HALL OF FAME
Along with Ron Santo of the Cubs, Baines really deserves a spot in Cooperstown. Besides his demeanor which rivals that of Mr. Cub, Ernie Banks, and Minnie Minoso. he definitely has the stats.
7th in majors in all-time grand slams with 7
4th in 3 home run games with 3
tied for 7th with walk-off home runs with 10.
Then there were the 8 seasons batting over .300 and six times an all-star.
ALSO a SOX Favorite-- From the 1960s, Tommy Agee.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
