The White Sox wore the 1970s red pinstripe throwbacks last season. This season — on home Sundays — they’re wearing this sweet getup:
Time to get Luzinski. #WhiteSox to wear these for Sunday home games this yr. 30th anniversary of ’83 division winners twitter.com/EricFisherSBJ/…

Hoping like crazy that Baines is wearing his originals from 1983. Also hoping that, contra Fisher, no one gets any of these near Greg Luzinski. That was not pretty:
Outfielder B.J. Upton went by the name B.J., short for Bossman Junior, through the 2014 season. His father Manny was known as Bossman, hence Bossman Junior. Upton decided he wanted to be referred to by his birth name Melvin starting in 2015, saying that everyone except baseball fans knew him by that name. Now, he’s back to B.J., Scott Boeck of USA TODAY Sports reports.
For those keeping score at home, Upton is the artist formerly and currently known as B.J.
Upton, 34, hasn’t played in the majors since 2016. He signed a minor league deal with the Indians in December 2017 but was released in the middle of last March and wasn’t able to latch on with another team. It seems unlikely he finds his way back to the majors.
