Rick Renteria suffered from lightheadedness in Minnesota before the final game against the Twins and had to miss Michael Kopech's major-league debut on Tuesday. The White Sox sent him a picture of his jersey to cheer him up.
Last season Tim Anderson honored his friend Brandon Moss (B-Mo) who was gunned down in a Tuscaloosa parking lot trying to break up a late-night altercation. This year, he simply went with TA7.
Yet, there was one moment that couldn't be overshadowed by the glitz and flare any team could muster.
Like Anderson did last season, Kevin Smith honored his deceased friend and former White-Sox teammate, Daniel Webb by choosing "Webby" for the name on the back of his jersey and then smoking his first home run of the season.
Smith was understandably emotional in that moment and after the game.
Athletics capture the entire human experience. We choose our sports based on how we connect to the subtle moments of drama. Baseball, more than any other sport, has a way of connecting with the human spirit on a regular basis.
