White Sox make bizarre challenge in MLB playoff game vs Astros: What happened? - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Chicago White Sox manager Will Venable went for a challenge in a strange situation in Game 1 of the American League wild card series against the Houston Astros. After Chicago's Sam Antonacci grounded out to Jose Altuve in the fourth inning, Venable argued the Astros second baseman violated the shift rules, which require infielders to be on the dirt when the pitch is delivered. The video shown on the broadcast made it hard to tell if Altuve's cleat was touching the grass. The call stood. The rule
Colson Montgomery sets new MLB single-season strikeout record - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mark Reynolds' record lasted 17 years. Colson Montgomery took it from him Friday night in the fifth inning. The Chicago White Sox shortstop struck out for the 224th time this season. The record whiff came against Colorado right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano for the second out in the inning. That set a new single-season major league mark and broke his tie with Reynolds, who struck out 223 times for Arizona in 2009. Montgomery was called out on a 3-2, 93-mph fastball for the historic punchout. Montgomery
What the pope said when asked if he helped the White Sox reach October - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pope Leo XIV has said that in his role he does not play favorites, but on his way to Paris on Friday, Sept. 25, it was hard not to notice his smile when he was asked a baseball question. On the papal plane, a reporter asked the Chicago-born pope whether he'd had anything to do with the White Sox reaching the playoffs. He smiled. "No comment," he said, according to video posted by NBC News. "Great things happen in Chicago." Technically that was a no comment, but it didn't sound much like a denial
Cubs star Pete Crow-Armstrong joins MLB's elite 40-40 club - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pete Crow-Armstrong stole his 40th base of the season Thursday, Sept. 24, and with it, he did something no one has ever done wearing a Cubs uniform. With the 40 steals and 45 home runs, Crow-Armstrong joined MLB's prestigious 40-40 club. He becomes the seventh MLB player to steal 40 bases and hit 40 home runs in the same season. Jose Canseco was the first to get there in 1988, Barry Bonds did it in 1996, Alex Rodriguez in 1998, Alfonso Soriano in 2006, Ronald Acuna Jr. in 2023 and Shohei Ohtani
Ranking MLB's best lineups for 2026 playoffs: Who's built for October? - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Chicago Cubs scored more runs than anyone in baseball this year and their offense is still the strongest in the field by both raw production and park-adjusted numbers. Even with Alex Bregman questionable after taking a foul ball to the face. Milwaukee has the best record in baseball, but fewer home runs than any other team playing in October, and by a wide margin. The Yankees have as much raw power as anyone in this field, and none of it will matter much if Aaron Judge isn't healthy enough t
