CHICAGO -- As you start a new year, consider a challenge from Cubs prospect Chris Singleton. He wants you to take a smiling photo with someone who looks different than you are. Singleton's hope is that you'll discover the two of you are not that different underneath.
His motivation? The death of his mother in a church shooting in Charleston, S.C., by a white supremacist.
"I think I was chosen for this, the path I've been on," Singleton said. "It'd be easy for me to not say anything about it, it'd be easy for me to sit back and play baseball and act like nothing ever happened in my life.
