The Chicago sports world reacted favorably on Sunday to news that the city's own Chance the Rapper won three Grammy awards at the 59th annual celebration of popular music.
Chance, who grew up in the West Chatham neighborhood on Chicago's south side and is a White Sox fan, took home the awards for best new artist, best rap album ("Coloring Book") and best rap performance ("No Problem" with 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne).
The White Sox were among the first to congratulate the 23-year-old recording artist, who designed three limited-edition caps for the team last year and also threw out the first pitch at their home opener.
