Rick Morrissey had an excellent article in the Sun-Times this week about Jerry Reinsdorf’s primary motivation being to seek revenge against White Sox fans — “a perverse revenge” as he calls it. Morrissey puts a lot of the cause on the “sell the team” movement of the last two years, and he has sources that may well tell him that was the final blow to Reinsdorf’s ego.
But allow me to suggest that the chairman’s loathing of fans goes back much further.
