South Side Sox Player of the Week (August 24-30): Luis Robert Jr.

A cacophony of squawks and shrill shrieks filter through the humid air. Overhead, Chris Getz swings through the sun-dappled canopy, his prehensile tail dangling uselessly.

To your right, Jerry Reinsdorf grapples sloth-like on a tree trunk, blinking apathetically at his surroundings.

And down on the forest floor, just barely in view, La Pantera prowls through a shaded cluster of ferns, the only creature in the jungle who knows what the hell he’s doing.

Without a doubt, Luis Robert Jr. is having his healthiest, heartiest season of baseball to date. Finishing the season within swinging distance of 40 home runs is a fantastic achievement, and one of the few things worth celebrating about the 2023 Chicago White Sox.
