Paul Sullivan: Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf dons blinders as the Chicago White Sox season sinks into the abyss
CHICAGO — Chicago White Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf stood by the home dugout with a lit cigar in hand before Monday night’s game against the New York Yankees, brazenly violating the stadium’s no-smoking ordinance as he spoke with friends.
A small group of reporters followed Reinsdorf to see if he would discuss the dumpster fire his team has become, knowing full well his policy of not speaking to the media.
“Got a second?” I asked.
“No,” Reinsdorf harrumphed as he walked past without glancing up.
No one harrumphs quite like “The Chairman,” who has had plenty of practice the last two years thanks to underachieving performances by the Sox and Bulls.
These are trying times for Reinsdorf, executive vice president
