White Sox: Classy move giving groundskeeper a second chance

The White Sox just rehired a former employee who was wrongfully imprisoned for 23 years.

According to several sources, including MLB.com, Nevest Coleman was rehired after 23 years to work as a groundskeeper at Guaranteed Rate Field.

White Sox in 1995

The last time that Coleman was a free man it was 1995 and the Sox played at Comiskey Park. Robin Ventura and Ozzie Guillen were baseball players. While he spent his time in jail, these two became managers for the Sox. Dave Martinez also was on the 1995 team.
