On this day in 1953, Fidel Castro began the Cuban Revolution by leading a guerrilla attack on the Moncada Barracks. Yes, it really was called that. It's now Cuba's national holiday.
It is truly terrifying to imagine a world without Cuba as a White Sox fan. Jose Contreras was the ace of this team in the 2005 World Series run (which might have ended prematurely if not for Orlando Hernandez shutting down Boston with the bases loaded and no outs in Game 3 of the ALDS), Alexei Ramirez had a big hit that led to this team making the playoffs in 2008, Yoan Moncada has been the best player on the team in 2021, Yasmani Grandal is the biggest contract this organization has ever given out, and Jose Abreu won the most recent AL MVP award in franchise history and is the undisputed leader of the team right now.
