Time After Time

I was reading Time Magazine this week and they had a spot on the White Sox and were explaining what a loony Ozzie Guillen is and the whole drought thing etc. Now I think that Time should only focus on leaks in the White House and not venture into the realm of sports, but the article was somewhat well written, so they get a pass. What they don't get a pass at was the pictures on the article. There was a picture of Scott Podsednik next to Joe Jackson with a caption saying that Joe Jackson something along the lines of Joe Jackson had the power whereas Podsednik has the speed. Did I miss something or is Podsednik not even in the same league as Shoeless Joe. It is like comparing the Dayton Dragons with the 1961 Yankees...there is absolutely no comparison. How can you possibly compare a lifetime .356 hitter with someone who has a OBP of .345. Joe Jackson wasn't even a power hitter, he hit 50 HRs over 13 seasons. Will Ray Kinsella see Podsednik out in his corn field and build a ballpark for him? Perhaps they should have picked a player like Chick Gandil or the bat boy for the team to compare to Podsednik. Man Time needs to understand the insignificance of this White Sox team.
