You gotta be bleepin' me: White Sox forgotten again, this time by Wheel of Fortune

Share

What's it going to take for people to start remembering the White Sox?

Can I buy a vowel?

The latest glaring omission of the South Side baseball team came on "Wheel of Fortune," with the long-running game show — whose host, Pat Sajak, is a Chicago native, for crying out loud — creating a puzzle featuring Chicago's major professional sports teams — with one notable exception.

C'mon, guys.

The Wheel now joins the folks at ESPN, who can't seem to stop forgetting about the 2005 world champion White Sox, doing so in 2016 and 2017.

A.J. Pierzynski, the catcher on that World Series team, even weighed in on the issue last fall, calling ESPN's recurring slights "a joke."

Why this keeps happening is anyone's guess. As for the facts, I'd like to solve the puzzle: The White Sox do exist.

After the news starting making the rounds, the White Sox had some fun with it by "fixing" the puzzle.
