Found this program today from my dad Joe Wischnowsky’s 2005 induction into the Kankakee High School Hall of Fame. So fun to read the description of many of his amazing athletic achievements. #Legend – at Chicago, IL

Wild for a guy whose career was supposed to be over after one Summer League game.

Worth every penny. Especially if this is the team that finally wins it all.

With no MLB games right now (and few left) and very little interest in the NBA, I really need college basketball to get started so there are some decent games to watch during weeknights.

This video is a great dive into the history of the beloved Chief Illiniwek, celebrating his 100th anniversary this weekend. Don't forget to Paint Memorial Stadium "Chief" on Saturday!

This is still Bush League stuff. Fans paid $1,000 for these Timeless Tickets in 2015, which is equivalent to $1,421 today. They were promised "best available seat," including World Series games. The promotion was stupid. But if you offer it, you should fully live up to it.

This is literally one of the worst Chicago takes that I've ever heard.

Word of advice, Brewers: Don't tempt The Curse of the Timeless Ticket.

Two Kenosha brothers who paid $1,000 each for a Milwaukee Brewers "Timeless Ticket" more than a decade ago say the team isn't fully honoring the promise that came with it — the chance to sit in the best available seats for a game as big as the World Series. More at the link in o

I believe Illinois is the best team in the country this season, but I'm totally cool with the Illini not starting the season off at No. 1. A big reason: No preseason No. 1 has won a national title since UNC in 2008-09. Better to start outside the top spot.

Sources: The Chicago Cubs have named Steve Miller their new VP, overseeing the International Scouting department. Miller comes over after serving as the Rays’ Director of International Scouting since 2019, where he played a key role in several notable international signings.

My wife and I trekked down to the Gold Coast on Sunday evening to check out the city’s best residential Halloween decor. It didn’t disappoint. 👻 🎃 😱 🦇
