โ€œWe are proud of the important and historic role baseball plays in our country, offering respite during some of the most difficult times or in providing fans with a sense of comfort when circumstances seemed uncertain,โ€ Jerry Reinsdorf, chairman of the White Sox, said in a statement. โ€œWe believe this is a moment when baseball can indeed serve our fans and our communities again as we all hope for a gradual return to normal. Itโ€™s why we applaud Mayor Lightfoot, the leadership role she and Governor (J.B.) Pritzker have played for our city and state, and the decision today โ€” guided by an unwavering commitment to public health and safety โ€” to allow fans to return to Guaranteed Rate Field for opening day.โ€

White Sox say they understand 'seriousness' La Russa case

(AP Photo/File)CHICAGO โ€“ The Chicago White Sox are sticking with new manager Tony La Russa for now, saying they understand the โ€œseriousnessโ€ of his latest drunken driving case and will have more to say once it plays out in court. The White Sox were aware of the case when they hired him. He is friends with chairman Jerry Reinsdorf and started his managing career with the White Sox during the 1979 season. The White Sox made the playoffs for the first time since 2008 and ended a string of seven losing seasons with a 35-25 record. The White Sox plan to hire Ethan Katz as their pitching coach, a person familiar with the situation said on Thursday.

More details emerge on White Sox manager La Russa's arrest

White Sox spokesman Scott Reifert said Monday the team was aware of the arrest when the 76-year-old La Russa was hired late last month. The 76-year-old La Russa is the oldest manager in the major leagues by five years. La Russa is 2,728-2,365 with six pennants over 33 seasons with the White Sox, Oakland and St. Louis. La Russa and Sparky Anderson are the only managers to win the World Series in the American League and National League. La Russa, who is friends with chairman Jerry Reinsdorf, started his managing career with the White Sox during the 1979 season.

White Sox manager Tony La Russa charged with DUI again

Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa has been charged with driving under the influence again. White Sox spokesman Scott Reifert said the team was aware of the arrest when the 76-year-old La Russa was hired. La Russa, who is friends with team owner Jerry Reinsdorf, started his managing career with the White Sox during the 1979 season. ESPN reported La Russa allegedly ran his car into a curb in the Phoenix area on Feb. 24. La Russa and Sparky Anderson are the only managers to win the World Series in the American League and National League.

White Sox reunite with La Russa, hire Hall of Fame manager

FILE - In this Aug. 30, 2014, file photo, former Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa stands with his Baseball Hall of Fame plaque before the second baseball game of a doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers in Chicago. The 76-year-old La Russa rejoins the franchise where his big-league managing career began more than four decades ago. He takes over for Rick Renteria after what the White Sox insisted was a mutual agreement to split. The 1983 team won 99 games on the way to the AL West championship โ€” Chicago's first playoff appearance since the 1959 Go-Go White Sox won the pennant. Hahn insisted it was a consensus decision between him, Reinsdorf and executive vice president Ken Williams to go with La Russa.

AP source: Angels give White Sox OK to interview La Russa

CHICAGO โ€“ The Los Angeles Angels granted the Chicago White Sox permission to interview Hall of Famer Tony La Russa for their managing job, a person familiar with the situation said Wednesday. A three-time World Series-winning manager, the 76-year-old La Russa joined the Angels prior to this season as senior advisor of baseball operations. La Russa, who started his managing career with the White Sox during the 1979 season, hasn't managed since 2011, when he led St. Louis past Texas in the World Series. Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf has long regretted that move and remains close with La Russa. If La Russa gets the job, he will inherit a team that appears poised for long-term success.

For Donovan, job with Bulls 'came out of left field'

CHICAGO โ€“ The Chicago Bulls weren't on Billy Donovan's radar when he and the Oklahoma City Thunder parted ways after five successful seasons. So this kind of came out of left field for me.โ€The Bulls introduced Donovan as their coach on Thursday, two days after they announced they landed arguably the most attractive candidate on the market to help turn around a struggling team with new management. Donovan met in person with Karnisovas and Marc Eversley for 5 1/2 hours to get the process in gear. And when Donovan accepted the job, Karnisovas said, โ€œI could not stop smiling.โ€Hiring Donovan was a rare big and bold move for the Bulls. Donovan said he was โ€œtaken abackโ€ by Karnisovas' vision and is looking forward to โ€œworking hand in handโ€ with him.
