We headed to Brookfield Zoo this morning for the annual Sox Day. When A.J. Pierzynski was signing a picture for Drew, Drew asked him, "How does it feel to be one of the smartest players in baseball?" A.J. replied, "It's fun!"
Juan Nieves (White Sox bullpen coach) was also there signing autographs, which provided an opportunity for the kids to learn a little baseball history.Juan pitched for the Milwaukee Brewers when I was living in Milwaukee. In 1987 he threw a no-hitter against the Baltimore Orioles. He was the 2nd youngest player in baseball history and the first Hispanic ever to throw a no-no.
He signed his name on the photo and then wrote "4-15-87" (the date of his no hitter).
And the Sox beat the Angels tonight, capping off a perfect White Sox day!
