Tim Anderson’s contributions to the White Sox success have already registered somewhere on the Richter Scale.
His stick-it-to-the-man leadership and electric energy have rocketed the team to thrilling and historic heights, and taken an ever-growing fan base along with it. Magic moments seem to follow Anderson like thunder follows lightning.
Ten days ago, the stage was set in rural Iowa, when a ninth-inning opportunity came knocking, and Anderson saved the day in walk-off fashion, in front of a national audience.
This past week, the moment came in Florida. In extra innings and with momentum faltering, TA7 came through again, putting the Sox ahead with another clutch swing and sending the go-ahead run home in an eventual 7-5 victory.
