Outfielder Brian Goodwin has been one of the players to step up when called upon for a Chicago White Sox team hit hard with injuries.
Goodwin came through again Friday in Game 1 of the City Series against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field, putting the Sox ahead in the 10th inning with a two-run home run off reliever Manuel Rodríguez.
“This is the most fun season that I’ve ever had,” Goodwin said. “Everything we’re doing is genuine. All the fun you’re seeing us having, that’s real.”
“A guy throwing that hard, upper 90s to a hundred mph, you really just want to have your foot down as early as possible,” Goodwin said.
