The MLB regular season has officially begun, and the Chicago White Sox kicked things off here at the Gem on the Lake! White Sox pitcher, Liam Hendriks, paid a virtual visit to the kids aboard the S.S. La Rabida. In a special video message, Hendriks wished our patients a happy Opening Day and shared that, since we couldn’t celebrate in person, he’d brought the ballpark to the hospital.

Liam, his wife Kristi, and the White Sox Organization delivered sweet treats, popcorn, memorabilia, and toys that were distributed by our staff to both our inpatient and outpatient families. Our kids were thrilled to celebrate the start of a great 2021 season with their new White Sox gear!

Thank you to the Hendriks Family and the Chicago White Sox for making this home opener one to remember. Let's Go, Go-Go White Sox!
