Every day is Burger Day: The Jake Burger hype has already started in Chicago

Jake Burger isn't projected to join the Chicago White Sox until around 2020, but that hasn't slowed down the hype around him.

The former Missouri State star was selected by his favorite childhood team in the 2017 MLB Draft, and fans are already loving him.

He finished the season with Single-A Kannapolis, and he's a part of a White Sox rebuild that has South Side Chicago fans thinking they're building a potential baseball dynasty.

Burger attended his first SoxFest, a fan White Sox fan convention in Chicago, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The event was sold out for the first time since 2015, when the team held a 10-year reunion for their last World Series title.
