In addition to 2018 world champion Andrew Benintendi, the White Sox boast ex-Red Sox prospects Chase Meidroth, Braden Montgomery, and Kyle Teel. And there are other local tie-ins.

I don't even know what to say. This is real, this is true, so, like, thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. This took over 25 years to happen so if there's any lesson here it's either "keep at it, who knows" or "many people are divorced"

I saw it back when it came out and thought it was great, then rewatched after I'd finished the Andor finale and liked it a lot less. Especially in contrast to that, the plot/characters are so much thinner.

For the Globe's weekly One Special Thing column, I wrote about Olivia Rodrigo choosing to take the harder route, and how impressive I found it in an era when celebs are so careful about their public image mobileapp.bostonglobe.com/ZVVBRSBRWJHE...

On ‘SNL,’ a bumpy Olivia Rodrigo performance was still a bold declaration as an artist
In 2023, the singer was keen enough to prove herself as a musician to take some risks on a huge stage.

There is one nod to a moment in the Keira Knightley movie that absolutely cracked me up, though, and I hope other dorks like me catch it (it involves a candle). This concludes my list of acceptable winky references to other Austen stuff.
