It’s a cloudy autumn Sunday, and ace reporter Mitch Ransdell has three tickets to this afternoon’s game between the last-place Detroit Tigers and the White Sox. No one wants to attend the game with him.
To quote Ransdell’s wife: “I’d rather die.”
In fact, Ransdell offers the spare tickets to several people on the street, one of whom spits at the reporter at the very suggestion of going down to the old ballpark. Nevertheless, the intrepid journalist is determined to witness the game, which will undoubtedly be a trademark White Sox winner.
