The Chicago White Sox have a lengthy history in MLB, but World Series titles have been elusive. Since the franchise’s first year in 1901, the team has won the World Series just three times, the most recent of which came in 2005.

The man at the center of that win — manager Ozzie Guillén — finally got his flowers from the team Friday, learning during the broadcast that he would have his number retired by the franchise.

Upon hearing the news, Guillén immediately burst into tears in an incredibly touching moment. One of Guillén’s players on that World Series winning team — outfielder Scott Podsednik — nearly got choked up as he read the news to Guillén.

But since it was Guillén, there was obviously going to be some humor involved. He showed off his wit and sarcasm just moments before getting the news, joking that he thought he was getting “another bobblehead.” It made the moment all the more enjoyable when Guillén found out the news was much better than that.

Guillén then called his wife onto the broadcast and shared a hug and kiss with her before waving to the cheering White Sox crowd. After all the dust had settled and his emotions were in check, Guillén quipped, “I can die August 9 now.” The White Sox will retire Guillén’s No. 13 on Aug. 8.

Guillén’s time in Chicago extends far beyond his managerial career in the city. After signing with the San Diego Padres as a shortstop in 1980, Guillén was traded to the White Sox in 1984. He made his MLB debut with Chicago the following year, and spent his first 13 seasons in the majors with the franchise. Guillén, known for his strong defense up the middle, won the Rookie of the Year award, made three All-Star teams and won a Gold Glove with the White Sox.

Following his playing career, Guillén went into coaching. He was hired by the White Sox in 2004 and led the team to a winning record in his first season with the club. The next year, Guillén led the team to a 99-win season that culminated in a World Series title.

Thanks to some incredible starting pitching, and Guillén’s willingness to ride his aces, the White Sox went 11-1 in the postseason that year, one of the most dominant playoff records ever.

Guillén remained the team’s manager for six more seasons, going 678-617 in his eight years as manager.

Following his managerial career, Guillén eventually returned to the team as a local broadcaster, where he provides analysis of the team and finds ways to work in his trademark humor at every opportunity.

After securing the backup catcher job during spring training, San Francisco Giants rookie Daniel Susac received his first-ever big-league start Thursday night against the New York Mets. It went about as well as any major-league player could hope.

Susac started out the evening by picking up his first major-league hit on the first pitch he saw from Mets starter Daniel Peterson.

His family — who fans were about to see a lot more on the broadcast — had a great time celebrating Susac’s milestone.

The following inning, Susac did it again, singling on the first pitch of his second at-bat. His third plate appearance resulted in a walk, keeping his on-base percentage a perfect 1.000.

But Susac’s first-career start was about more than just his offensive prowess. He also pulled off a successful ABS challenge in the sixth inning for a strikeout.

In the seventh inning, Susac came up to the plate again. This time, he needed five pitches before hitting another single. This hit, in particular, sent his entire family into a frenzy … except for his young nephew, who was having a pretty miserable time.

With the Giants leading 7-2, Susac did not get another plate appearance in the win. Overall, he finished his first MLB start by going 3-for-3 with a walk and a successful ABS challenge.

His performance was recognized by home-plate umpire Nestor Ceja, who gave Susac the lineup card from his perfect start once the game ended.

With his performance, Susac became the first Giants player since Kevin Frandsen to reach base four times in his first MLB start, per MLB’s Sarah Langs. Frandsen’s first start came back in 2006.

After such a tremendous debut, Susac was interviewed on the broadcast. As you might expect, he received a Gatorade shower from his teammates while speaking with NBCSports broadcaster Kylen Mills. It resulted in a great photo.

Unfortunately for Mills, it also resulted in a completely destroyed laptop. Mills took the whole thing in stride, saying the excellence of the photo far outweighed the ruined laptop.

But if Mills is feeling upset at any point about the whole situation, at least she can bond with Susac’s young nephew. He seemed to be the only other person who wasn’t able to fully enjoy Susac’s fantastic first MLB start.

Kirk Cousins’ time as an NFL starter might not be over just yet. The 37-year-old reportedly signed a deal with the Las Vegas Raiders, his agent announced Thursday.

With the move, Cousins could open the season as the team’s starter as it prepares presumptive No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza to eventually take over.

Cousins opened last season in a backup role for the Atlanta Falcons behind Michael Penix. But an injury to Penix opened the door for Cousins to shift back into a starting role down the stretch. In 10 games – eight starts — Cousins threw 10 touchdowns against five interceptions.
