White Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf, Bears Chairman George McCaskey and Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts talk about how they formed the five-team Chicago Sports Alliance to help combat gun violence.
Maybe it was a crime story he read in the newspaper or perhaps a sobering local TV report, but whatever it was, it prompted White Sox and Bulls Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf to pick up the phone and call the other most influential team executives in the city to combine their activist efforts and form the Chicago Sports Alliance.
Together they donated $1 million to fund training for crime lab analysts, and this week they announced plans to donate another $1 million for more gun violence initiatives.
