South Side Sox Player of the Week (August 21-27): Gavin Sheets

All is quiet on the White Sox front.

All quiet, that is, except for the screaming bat of Gavin Sheets, who has slashed .435/.440/.652 over his last seven games.

With family watching from the stands in Baltimore, Sheets stepped up to the plate again and again, smacking eight hits across the three-game series.

There is definitely some sort of magic in the air at Camden Yards, where Gavin grew up watching baseball. His family, including former major-leaguer Larry Sheets, lived just a half hour’s drive from the ballpark. In July of last season, Sheets clobbered a homer in front of his hometown crowd, contributing to a 12-1 White Sox winner.
