White Sox finally win, taking a look at end-of-year awards and remembering Billy Bean

It has finally happened. For the first time since July 10th, the Chicago White Sox have won a game. With their victory against the Oakland A’s on Tuesday night, Pedro Grifol’s team was able to snap their 21-game losing streak and have a victorious handshake line to end one of the rougher stretches in the team’s history.Jake Mintz & Jordan Shusterman talk about the White Sox avoiding a new all-time record for most consecutive losses in a row, why the players on the current squad aren’t necessarily to blame for the way things have gone this season and the interesting post-game quotes coming from Grifol, Andrew Benintendi and John Brebbia.Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys talk about the passing of MLB's vice-president of social responsibility and inclusion, Billy Bean, and the lasting legacy he’s left behind. In 1999, Bean was the second player to come out as gay in baseball and in his post-playing days, was named MLB’s first Ambassador for Inclusion by then-commissioner Bud Selig.Jake and Jordan wrap up the episode by checking in on the races for the major end-of-year awards including if Paul Skenes could win the NL Cy Young award, whether Shohei Ohtani should win the MVP and if anyone will be able to overtake Aaron Judge at this point for AL MVP.(2:23) - The White Sox finally win(18:24) - Remembering Billy Bean(34:16) - End-of-year awards check-in(37:27) - MVP(46:40) - Cy Young(55:31) - Rookie of the YearSubscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3Ij2sgR🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/42Lo4fa📢Yahoo Sports podcast network: https://apple.co/3zEuTQjAnd check out Jake, Jordan & the show on X or Instagram:🐦 @CespedesBBQ: https://twitter.com/CespedesBBQ📷 @CespedesBBQ: https://www.instagram.com/cespedesbbq⚾ @Jake_Mintz: https://twitter.com/Jake_Mintz🧢 @J_Shusterman: https://twitter.com/j_shusterman_💸 Sign up for a Yahoo fantasy football league for a chance to win one million dollars! 🏈 Draft your team on Yahoo Fantasy before September 5th for one entry.
