The best (and worst) feature of every ballpark (thread).

Worst: Dodger Stadium. Getting there doesn’t count. Never liked the massive parking lot, though it was enhanced with the outfield pavilion renovation this year. ImageImage

Fantastic #cubs #whitesox game going on right now, if you like such things. 1-0 Sox bottom 5th.
Bases loaded for the Cubs.
Holy cow! Cubs have bases loaded with no outs, White Sox get a strikeout and double play, still 1-0 Sox.

100 years ago today, the Cincinnati @Reds clinched their first National League pennant by knocking off the Giants. That same day, the #WhiteSox arrived in New York for a series with the Yankees ... and a fateful meeting with gamblers. baseball-reference.com/boxes/CIN/CIN1… #BlackSox100
@Reds It was on this #WhiteSox road trip to NYC — 100 years ago this week — when Eddie Cicotte and Chick Gandil met with gamblers Sleepy Bill Burns and Billy Maharg at the Ansonia Hotel to fix the 1919 World Series. sabr.org/research/black… #BlackSox100

1/Some quick thoughts on #Yankees reaching agreement with Tulowitzki. They thought he looked athletic and healthy in workouts and see agreement as low-risk (MLB minimum)/potential high reward. Plan is for him to play SS. If he is even league avg and provides a bridge until
2/Gregorius returns, it would be a win for the NYY considering the low cost. Obviously the big question is what does this mean for Machado. It gives the NYY a bit more leverage if they are following their planned script - to offer fewer yrs/$ than #Phillies #Whitesox are likely
