Chicago Sky And White Sox In Post-Season
We looked at the post-season runs for two teams: The MLB's Chicago White Sox and the WNBA's Chicago Sky, who made it into the WNBA finals for the first time since 2014. We talked to reporters from the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, and Illinois Public Media about the two teams' track records, as well as Latino/x/e representation in the White Sox team and fanbase.
