Checking in on baseball predictions

World Series rematch not a mismatch

Mea culpa time for Adam Dunn haters

by Steve Bogira on May 30, 2012 at 1:37PM

A Reader colleague of mine, Steve Bogira (no relation), mocked Adam Dunn endlessly last year, and it's about time he and his fellow haters ate a little crow. The White Sox vaulted into first place last night with their seventh straight win—and Dunn has helped lead them to the top.
