CHICAGO (AP) – Paul Konerko wasn’t quite sure what to expect this weekend as he prepared to wrap up one of the most successful careers by a Chicago White Sox player.
He figured the emotions will hit him. He’s just not quite sure how he will handle them.
He is sure of one thing as he wraps up a 16-year run in Chicago and a career that began with the Dodgers in 1997. He has ”no doubt” it’s time to put away the bat and glove.
He was out of the lineup Thursday as the White Sox opened a four-game series against Kansas City. But, he expected to start the final three games.
On Thursday, he thanked the Chicago fans in his own special way, with a video released by the team.
