WHITE SOX RUMORED TO BE LOOKING ELSEWHERE
CHICAGO (AP) - The Chicago White Sox ownership have been reportedly looking at other options for the club, for as early as 2007. After a recent accident at US Cellular Field, involving a beam falling onto the field during a game, officials have said the park is the result of shoddy construction when the park was built almost twenty years ago. As a result, White Sox officials are exploring other options, given that Owner Jerry Reinsdorf has said, "I've had enough of this baseball {expletive}"

Though team officials will not confirm nor deny they are shopping the club for other sites, they did release a statement. "We are doing what's best for our players, our fans around the world and ultimately, Major League Baseball."

Attempts to contact the legions of White Sox fans worldwide, were not immediately returned.

Rumors have the Sox considering Birmingham, Ala., Louisville, Ky., and Jacksonville, Fla.
