Looks like the Sox won’t sell out Friday’s home opener. The Sox expect a crowd of about 37,000-7,000 shy of capacity.
“Everywhere we went all winter, all people wanted to talk about was Frank (Thomas) and Albert (Belle),” said Sox marketing genius Rob Gallas. “Everybody in baseball is watching the White Sox.”

So if you really want to follow the Bears this season, take I-65 south.
