Daryl Boston tried to learn how to whistle on his own.
He even turned to YouTube to watch instructional videos. But the White Sox first-base coach couldn’t get the sound he needed to grab his outfielders’ attention during games.
“I bought a Fox 40, and it’s been with me ever since,” Boston said.
The Fox 40 whistle is a Canadian product, so it’s fitting Boston’s use of the device received attention Monday night in the Sox’s 4-2 loss to the Blue Jays at the Rogers Centre.
