White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson may only be in his second season in the major leagues, but he knew since he was called up to Chicago a year ago he was interested in connecting with the city’s youth.
On Tuesday, he started a program he hope will do that.
Anderson and his wife, Bria, have launched a community outreach program called “Anderson’s League of Leaders,” where he hopes to guide and inspire kids. The program will work in conjunction with Youth Guidance, which specializes in school-based programs dedicated to student engagement, personal achievement and violence prevention.
