John McDonald's Obituary Critiques White Sox's Disastrous 2024 Season

John McDonald, a lifelong Chicago White Sox fan from Glen Ellyn, Illinois, passed away at age 77, and his obituary humorously cited the team's historically poor 2024 season as a reason he "couldn't face another White Sox season." The obituary, which has gained national attention, noted McDonald's enduring loyalty to Chicago sports—except for the Cubs, whom he disliked. The White Sox's record-breaking 121 losses last season and their continued struggles this year have deepened fan frustrations, with McDonald's story resonating as an example of how even devoted supporters have been driven to playful exasperation. His obituary also highlighted his personal life and community involvement, but the jest about the White Sox reflects broader fan sentiment amid the team's ongoing difficulties.
