On Saturday, July 29, 2017, the Chicago White Sox hosted the Cleveland Indians in a "throwback game" honoring the 1917 World Champion ChiSox team. Mark was in the stands and also received a 1917 World Series team jersey. Even though on this day the White Sox fell to the Indians 5-4, it was a great event honoring a fantastic team from a century ago.

During a recent road trip, Ann & Mark visited their great friends, Donna and Doug Callaghan, in Nashville. Doug was gracious to write a comment on Mark's book, "1917-2017: One Hundred Years of White Sox Baseball" that appears on the book's back jacket. During their stay, Donna was equally gracious in offering "Southern Hospitality," including a home cooked fried chicken dinner with all the fixins! Delicious! What wonderful hosts - and friends! Thanks, Donna! Thanks, Doug! (Being a big Tamp Bay Rays' fan, Mark wished Doug the best as he pulls for his team to make the playoffs in the A.L. East.)
