  • Ex-White Sox Slugger Ron Kittle Takes His Cuts for the Chicago Baseball Museum
    Ex-White Sox slugger Ron Kittle takes his cuts for the Chicago Baseball Museum. By Paul Ladewski After what the Cubs went through in the postseason, do you have any sympathy for them given that you played for the 1983 White Sox team that also experienced a sudden and massive slump? There's no sympathy for anybody in this game. There are winners and there are losers. That's how I was brought up to play, you know? There's going to be a W next to one team and not the other. But I don't like to the see the season end for any team. How do you explain that the White Sox scored only three runs in four games against the Baltimore Orioles in the ALCS that season? Good pitching will shut out down good hitting. In '83, we finished, what, 20 games ahead of everybody in our division? A slow time was going to come for us -- and it did. (Laughs.) Orioles starter Mike Flanagan fractured your left kneecap with a pitch in Game 3 of the series. You sat out the last three innings of that game and all of the next one. If healthy, would you have made a difference in the last two games? Nobody knows. I can only attest to what I thought -- I wanted to be the hero every single day that I played the game. Every day. I knew that I would be the goat more times than not, but at least I went into every game with an attitude.
