It’s official, 162 games squeezed into just shy of the customary six months and change!
The White Sox now open the 2022 season in Detroit, on Friday, April 8, playing three straight 12:10 p.m. games through Sunday. After a day off to affix the bunting, it’s the home opener on Tuesday, April 12, hosting Seattle for three, followed by Tampa for another three.
In what can be described as a lockout-induced throwback, two of the games in Kansas City, originally intended as the home opener for the Royals, are parts of scheduled day-night doubleheaders, on May 17 and August 10.
