Sean Burke and a homer brigade turns Opening Day into a laffer, 8-1

Brett Ballantini has written about baseball, basketball and sometimes hockey for the NBA, MLB, NHL, and Slam, Hoop, Sporting News, the Athletic, Sports Illustrated, South Side Hit Pen, Sox Populi, SB Nation and others. He was CSN Chicago’s Blackhawks beat writer when their 49-year Stanley Cup drought ended in 2009-10, and moved to the White Sox beat after that. Brett has run South Side Sox since 2018.

Unlike in the real world, when encountering a wallet stuffed with cash lost on the ground obligated the finder to report the loss and forgo the bounty, no such morality applies in sport.
