Sign of interest to me on the wall of my favorite restaurant in Montreal, Le Vin Papillon.
Métal sign on the wall says Welcome Montreal Expos. The sign is signed by multiple people, not sure who.

I just remembered that in middle school in the 90s, my music teacher had the class learn and sing Stevie Wonder’s “Lately.” Thinking back, this is an odd choice and maybe she was going through some stuff. It is a banger tho.

Announcers, please stop calling it South Chicago. South Chicago is its own beautiful thing, one of the 77 community areas, it runs from 79th street to the Calumet River. That’s not where the Sox play.

What a double play…Can we also discuss how perfect Miguel’s look is right now? The glasses, hair, everything. #WhiteSox
Miguel Vargas leaves the field after the top of the 2nd inning. He wears a black White Sox uniform with pinstriped white pants.

Sam Antonacci is asked what his reaction was to Munetaka Murakami’s go ahead 2 run home run. He confesses that he was hiding in the batting cage, eating an ice cream at the time. His teammate Miguel Vargas hears about this and called him a child that needs to be looked after. #WhiteSox

Seems like a lot of folks are hearing the national anthem performed by mariachis for the first time! • It is Hispanic Heritage Month • Chicago has a very large Mexican population • Yes, it’s really cool • Where I’m from, large high schools often have a mariachi group as a subgroup to marching band
