Description

Only a handful of cities know what it’s like to have two professional sports teams in the same league. In Chicago, the crosstown rivalry between the White Sox and the Cubs is about more than baseball. It can be a cultural divide that makes Chicagoans feel like they have to choose a side publicly. That’s why Len Kasper turned heads this season when he became the radio voice of the White Sox after 16 seasons broadcasting for the Cubs. Kasper offers his perspective on the rivalry and his predictions for this year’s Crosstown Classic in August…and maybe even the World Series.

Guest: Len Kasper, Co-host, Sox Degrees; White Sox radio play-by-play announcer
