Signing Podsednik win-win for Sox
Riding the coattails of their parent club, the White Sox, the Class AAA Charlotte Knights sent a formal invitation to President Barack Obama to throw out the ceremonial first pitch during a game this season.
"We now have the Chicago White Sox’s biggest supporter in the White House. President Obama is a huge White Sox fan and a fan of baseball," Knights director of media relations John Agresti said. “We would be more than happy to host President Obama and his family as they watch the future stars of the White Sox right here at Knights Stadium.”
Good luck with the invite. In the meantime, the Knights will have to settle for Scott Podsednik.
Signed to a minor-league contract by the Sox on Tuesday, Podsednik is expected to be in Charlotte’s starting lineup for the first time on Thursday against Norfolk.
Podsednik was one of the Sox’ World Series heroes in 2005, but injuries took their toll over the next two seasons and the speedy leadoff man was released after the ’07 season.
