In a surprising turn of events, the Chicago White Sox, who have struggled throughout the 2024 season, delivered a resounding 12-2 victory over the New York Yankees on Monday night.
The win, only their sixth since July, has fans celebrating, particularly due to the efforts of interim manager Grady Sizemore.
Taking over just three games ago, Sizemore has already sparked a noticeable change in the team’s energy, matching the number of wins that the recently dismissed Pedro Grifol managed to secure during August.
White Sox fans, who have had little to cheer for this season, took to social media to praise Sizemore, calling for him to be named Manager of the Year and even dubbing this period as the “Grady Sizemore Era.”
The former MLB player, whose career was marred by injuries, seems to have found a new calling as a manager. Under his guidance, the White Sox not only won against one of the league’s top teams but also showed signs of life that have been missing all season.
The Yankees, on the other hand, were left reeling after the loss, with fans and commentators alike mocking the team for their poor performance against one of the league’s worst clubs.
Despite fielding one of their best pitchers, Luis Gil, the Yankees couldn’t contain the White Sox, who capitalized on every opportunity. This defeat has further complicated the Yankees’ race for the AL East title, making the loss all the more bitter for their fans.
