First there was flamenco and flamingo. Now there's the Chicago White Sox. In case you don't know - and judging from their recent attendance, there's a good chance you're not aware - the Chicago White Sox are a baseball team. Their greatest claim to historical fame is throwing the World Series in 1919.
A few months ago Wheel ran a puzzle with the Chicago sports teams, and they left out the White Sox. The team got even by photoshopping a "corrected" version of the puzzle (see screenshot). For whatever reason, last night Wheel ran a puzzle that read: "Chicago White Sox fans".
There's some Internet speculation that the puzzle was a make-up for the omission of the team a few months ago. Which may or may not be true, but the White Sox will take all the help they can get. The team has traded away most of its best players for prospects, and they're in a painful rebuild right now. As I type, the team is 4-8 on the young season with a -15 run differential.
So White Sox fans might be one of the nation's smallest minority groups. But Wheel of Fortune feels their pain.
