Levine: Chris Sale Hopes To Use Fabric Attack Fiasco To Contribute To A Charitable Cause

By Bruce Levine--

CHICAGO (CBS) -- The damage done emotionally to the White Sox and literally to their equipment in Chris Sale's jersey destruction fiasco may take a positive turn with a worthwhile result after all.

After admitting Thursday night that he regretted not being there for teammates and fans during his five-game suspension but also maintaining his beliefs, Sale was asked about whether he could somehow find a good cause to help others with what remains of the 1976 throwback uniforms that he ripped to shreds Saturday in a fit of rage.

"That is actually what we have been discussing," Sale said, alluding to a positive form of communication with the team's top brass on this matter. "For everything that is negative, you hope to find a positive in all of it. I do personally anyway. Hopefully we can find a way to help somebody, help a group of people with this whole fiasco, hoopla, whatever you want to call it. Hopefully we get there."

Chicago White Sox Charities helps countless people and causes, specifically contributing to work to find cures for diseases. The charity also helps battered, poor and homeless individuals.
