Baseball season on the South Side begins Friday, so it is fitting that a South Side celebrity will be getting things going.
Chance the Rapper, who grew up on the South Side at 79th and Princeton, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch ahead of the White Sox home opener against the Indians on Friday.
While it might not be as unique as collaborating with Kanye West or Madonna, Chance the Rapper's collaboration with the White Sox ought to be a thrill.

And Chance the Rapper won't be the only celebrity music artist involved in the pregame festivities, as Goo Goo Dolls lead singer John Rzeznik will sing the National Anthem before first pitch.
