Anyone who has ever competed in a sport has dreams of showing off their stuff on a big stage.
While this wasn’t Game 7 of the World Series, some White Sox fans got a chance to throw in the bullpen at Guaranteed Rate Field on Wednesday for a fastest pitch contest hosted by the team.
The prize for the winner was a VIP trip for two to White Sox spring training. Tom Petermann, a White Sox fan who recalls going to the old Comiskey Park growing up in the 80s, won with a fastest pitch of 76 mph.
