![]() ![]() Sports are about highs and lows, and with those elements as the main ingredients, fans naturally react. There’s no rule book on how a fan base is supposed to act toward a team, but if there were, you wouldn’t find a page about the importance of being on the same page. White Sox owning ‘terrible’ 2022, shortstop Tim Anderson says.“If you pay attention to it, I was speaking of being more positive, saying we’re all pulling from the same string,” he told the Sun-Times.

He told NBC Sports Chicago’s Chuck Garfien on a recent podcast that he wants to see more positivity from fans and media members this season. It would never occur to Sox fans to not speak their minds, just as it would never occur to them to hold their breath until they fainted.īut that’s what Anderson, the team’s star shortstop, thinks they should have done last year. ![]()
