The White Sox demolished the Royals 22-1 Friday, posting their highest run total since a 22-13 win in 1970. Midway through the ten‑run third, former AL Rookie of the Year Ron Kittle exchanged vows with girlfriend Barbara inside owner Jerry Reinsdorf’s suite. Teammates Harold Baines and Greg Walker, plus their spouses, witnessed the quick ceremony in front of the crowd.

The 10‑run inning propelled Chicago to a dominant lead that never waned, forcing Kansas City to play catch‑up for the rest of the night. Kittle, who also officiated a Bill Veeck Day wedding last season, joked he is now the only player to both marry and wed at a ballpark. The 1983 squad, honored before the game, added nostalgic flair.

The win moved Chicago to 45‑27, tightening the AL Central race as the Twins linger just two games behind. Reinsdorf’s involvement underscores the franchise’s willingness to blend on‑field success with off‑field spectacle, a strategy that keeps fans engaged beyond the scoreboard. The ceremony gave the 1983 alumni a memorable night amid a historic offensive outburst for the city’s supporters today.
