Carlos Rodon wasn’t about to shut off the thank-you spigot Wednesday night after his no-hitter against the Indians at Guaranteed Rate Field.
The White Sox lefty thanked his parents, his wife, his kids, his in-laws, an aunt, an uncle, some cousins and coaches. Teammates, too, of course.
“I’m blessed to still be able to play this game,” he said.
Blessed to throw a no-no. Blessed to still be chasing his dream. Blessed to have major shoulder and arm trouble — Tommy John surgery in 2019, people — behind him, with whatever is left of the promise of a No.
