AJ Pierzynski celebrates as the White Sox moved into first place (at least for a day) with a 7-2 win over Tampa Bay. It’s the ChiSox seventh straight win, and Phil Humber’s first since his perfect game. Paul Konerko’s went hitless and ended his streak at 14 games.

Hoosiers Revisited. Michael Watson does a great job of blending footage from “Hoosiers” with shots of how the same locations look today, from the same angle as the movie. He also includes footage from the actual 1954 championship game won by Milan High School that was the inspiration for the movie.
My favorite scenes are those shot at Butler’s Hinkle Fieldhouse (my alma mater), where two NCAA Finalist banners now hang.

It’s not every day that an 8 y.o. gets to hang with two Olympians. At the Chicago Sky’s open practice, my daughter got a boost from 6’6” Sylvia Fowles, WBNA Defensive Player of the Year. Then she clowned around with two-time WNBA All-Star MVP Swin Cash, who borrowed my daughter’s glasses.
