2016 – In a bizarre incident, White Sox ace Chris Sale is scratched from a scheduled start against the Tigers because of what General Manager Rick Hahn describes as a “clubhouse incident”. Sale apparently was upset at this team’s decision to wear throwback uniforms from the late 1970s, including their infamous dark blue long-collared jerseys, and in a fit of sartorial criticism, destroyed the uniforms with a pair of scissors. Matt Albers makes an emergency start wearing the Sox’s 1980s white jerseys. Sale’s tantrum will result in a five-day suspension handed by the ChiSox and he will be traded for a package of prospects after the season.
