Melky Cabrera levitated into the White Sox clubhouse Sunday morning with a smile, his feet steering his self-balancing personal transporter through light traffic.
"It's a skateboard," Sox catcher Geovany Soto said with a shrug and a grin.
He was half-right about his teammate's mode of transportation, which is a futuristic-looking cross between a skateboard and a hoverboard.
Cabrera parked the shiny maroon, two-wheeled vehicle in front of his locker and changed into his work clothes for another day at his office. This one, a 12-3 loss to the Yankees, didn't go according to plan, but Cabrera had two hits and drove in the Sox's first run.
