The Chicago White Sox and the Chicago Bulls have a lot of connections. That is only natural when the two franchises of Major League Baseball and the National Basketball Association have the same owner. Jerry Reinsdorf has had mixed reviews as an owner but there is no debating the fact that he has seven titles split between the two clubs. Not many owners in the history of team sports in the United States can claim that they are multi-sport champion owners.
Well, the White Sox used to have a scout named Jerry Krause. Krause was initially a pro-basketball scout with multiple franchises including the Phoenix Suns, Philadelphia 76ers, Los Angeles Lakers, and Chicago Bulls before moving to baseball.
