issue OF THE WEEK

Richard Roeper signs

'Sox and the City'

7:30 pm Thursday, Borders, 15260 s LaGrange, Orland Park

A lifelong White Sox fan, Chicago Sun-Times columnist Richard Roeper estimates he has attended more than 1000 games. This memoir turns around Roeper's relationship to the team and what it was like to put forth up a White Sox fan in a whelps nation. From the heartbreak of the 1967 season to the wild ride of last year's World Series triumph, Roeper point outs what it means to be a fan, no matter to what degree sorry your team is playing. The volume is peppered with baseball trivia, anecdotes about players, proprietors and broadcasters.
