(Actual age may differ)
Garret loves playing for the White Sox but he is not quite tje player his father was. While he does hit for a higher avg, he does not have the speed his father had. They both are very familiar with striking out. Bo's highest strike out season was 1989 at 172 K's. Garrets's highest is 198 in 2017. Both led the league. Garret is 30 HR's shy of his father's 141. They are both a 1 time All Star. Garret's best friend is fellow Sox player and son of a former Sox player, Sterling Thomas. Most call Garret Pops since he is a veteran and among the older players on the team that have played their entire career with the Sox. Despite not going to college out of HS, Garret has his Masters from St Mary's in Minnesota. Garret recently signed a 3 yr extension worth 15.3 million that will keep him in a Sox uniform for a few more years.

Don't bottle your emotions till they crack and fill a couple just sorrows
Take your mind and refocus go get a paper write your goals out
Throw your middle fingers to all your haters
