Chris's Bio
Chris Pennant is an old-schooler in a youngblood's body: the sacrifice bunt is more valuable than a home run, center field should be referred to as "the garden," and Roos are the best baseball cleats of all time. His greatest regret? He never made it to a game at Old Comiskey Park. Second greatest? He only went to one Sox game in 2005--against the Royals.
I'm finishing up my sophomore year at Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois. Lifelong South Sider from Chicago, my favorite team is the Chicago White Sox, and as the song goes, "and whoever plays the Cubs." Love all sports(even hockey can be exciting), but baseball is my first love. Teams: White Sox, Bears, Bulls, Blackhawks, Bradley Braves, and the Fighting Illini.
Oh, and Sundays, contrary to popular opinion, are for bowling.

I think D-Wade is a good guy, but I can't look or think about him without thinking of the 2006 NBA Finals, and until Dallas can win one, he will always be the scapegoat for that series for me.
