This weekend, four young pitchers from the Chicago White Sox, all hailing from Massachusetts, made their debut at Fenway Park. Sean Burke, Mike Vasil, Jared Shuster, and Shane Smith shared a significant milestone, each pitching on the historic mound for the first time. Burke expressed his excitement about the unique experience, while Vasil described it as a full-circle moment returning to the team he grew up supporting. Shuster and Smith echoed similar sentiments, emphasizing the rarity of their shared background and the inspiration it provides for future players from Mass.
"These are three guys I knew even before the White Sox, too; to kind of all meet here to be able to do it in the same weekend is really cool."
"It's definitely a full-circle moment. You grow up a fan of the team and you find your way back here on probably one of the more special weekends in the entire city."
