<p>Attn: Jerry Reinsdorf</p><p>Dear Jerry,</p><p>Forgive the informality, but since we’ve already had a couple of brief conversations on postgame elevators at the Rate this spring, can we proceed on a first-name basis?</p><p>You’re long past the age where you need to take advice from anybody, let alone from a Sun-Times scribbler you probably couldn’t pick out of a police lineup.</p><p>But it’s precisely because you’re 90, have your health and can still go to the ballpark that we’re inspired to write this letter.</p><p>You don’t need us to tell you, but this is a pretty good time to be Jerry Reinsdorf. You have a young and exciting <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox" >White Sox</a> ballclub, one of the best stories in baseball this season. You hired Chris Getz to be your general manager, and he has done an amazing job bringing your team back from the dead.</p><p>These Sox kids scattered all over the diamond — Colson Montgomery and Braden Montgomery, Chase Meidroth and Sam Antonacci, Kyle Teel and Miguel Vargas, Sean Burke and Grant Taylor — they don’t back down to anybody.
