Would the Chicago Sun-Times run a story about White Sox 6th-round draft pick Alex Weingartner had they not hired James Fegan? I think not. chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/20...

Newly drafted White Sox prospect Alex Weingartner offers impressive physical toolkit

Sox handed out $1.4 million bonus to New Jersey high school star who offers dynamic speed and power combination, but has a hit tool in need of refinement

Many Blackhawks fans are fed up with rebuilding. They made their voices heard in replies to my Davidson story yesterday. And that's one big reason why other NHL franchises are so reluctant to take the rebuild leap. The Hawks have become a test case. New column: chicago.suntimes.com/blackhawks/2...

Blackhawks' rebuild is test case for other NHL franchises considering taking the leap

Is the potential payoff of rebuilding worth the strain it puts on the fan base? The Hawks are grappling with that right now, and the outcome might influence decisions around the league.

This is a fascinating analysis of how history and economics have shaped perspectives in not just industries, but how individual human beings feel about art they're creating. Like after all good articles, I'm now wondering about how other artists (Pip, Squeak, and Wilfred; Pogo; The Perishers) felt.
