#GoodNews: White Sox Fan Celebrates 112th Bday Attending Very First Game

CP Crawford is a lifelong Chicago White Sox fan, but he never made it to a game until recently. At his 112th birthday party last month, Andrew Holmes, the executive director of Club 100, a nonprofit that celebrates those 100 years and older, heard that Crawford had never seen his team play in person and made it his mission to get him to a game.

Holmes kept it all a secret, even during the limo ride to the stadium. Once they arrived, the White Sox organization treated Crawford to time on the field before the game and White Sox legend Harold Baines gave him a custom jersey with the number 112 embroidered on it. He watched the game from club-level seats while he sipped his favorite soda, Orange Crush, and a fan even passed him a foul ball that landed nearby.

Even though the Sox lost to the Kansas City Royals, the birthday boy enjoyed his first game. “I've been around and I have met some wonderful people," Crawford says. "I'm happy to be here."
