The Chicago White Sox is the best men’s pro sports team that plays in the city of Chicago. Everyone else, for the first time in a long time, is looking up at them. They have a very nice lead in the American League Central Division after cruising through their schedule up to this point. Now, they will play the New York Yankees in the Field of Dreams game. This is a really big stage for a young team like them.

They can handle it. They are young but there are a lot of valuable veterans on the team like Lance Lynn, Dallas Keuchel, Liam Hendriks, and Craig Kimbrel. All of those guys have made deep runs in the playoffs and can teach these kids a thing or two. The talent is there to get the job done. They just need to go out there and do it.

Chicago deserves this spotlight. Of course, it is partially because they are the big team in the movie Field of Dreams but they are worthy of the spotlight. They have played very well this season which is why they are 63-51. They are just now starting to get healthy to so it will take a minute for them to really show us what they are made of.

With Lynn on the mound for this game, you can expect the big boy lineup on national television. Studs like Eloy Jimenez, Luis Robert, Jose Abreu, Yoan Moncada, Tim Anderson, and Andrew Vaughn amongst others should be able to get the job done offensively. If they do, combined with Lynn having his typical type of outing, should put the bullpen in a position to show their stuff as well.

The Chicago White Sox deserves to be in the spotlight for one night this year.

This could be a good test for the White Sox. It is no lock that they win but they should be able to have a good showing. There is nobody in the league that they should lose to if they all play to their potential. Of course, nobody wins every game but this looks like a very winnable one for them. The Yankees swept them back in New York a few months ago but this is a very different team now.

For whatever reason, there are plenty of people who refuse to give the White Sox the respect that they deserve. Yes, they play in a terrible division and will win it with ease. However, they have recently taken series from the Houston Astros, Tampa Bay Rays, and Toronto Blue Jays who are all awesome. This is another big test in a long line of them coming up.

Playing at the Field of Dreams is huge for the franchise. Before the rebuild began, there was little interest in them around the league. Now, they are about to play in their third nationally televised game of the week and fourth if you count the YouTube Game. This is going to be a lot of fun for White Sox fans to soak in as the night goes on.
