Chicago native “Chance the Rapper” tossed out the first pitch on Friday afternoon at U.S. Cellular Field as part of the Opening Day festivities, for the Chicago White Sox and his new relationship with the franchise as an “Ambassador”, a paid position by the White Sox in an effort to reach the youth fan base.
At first thought, the news didn’t mean anything to me mostly because I had no idea who he was before his snowy first pitch this weekend. But after taking the weekend to look into just who Chance the Rapper was, and what he was all about, I was a bit perturbed about the White Sox decision to enlist his help to reach the the youth audience.
