Bradford Slugs Long Homer for White Sox
Buddy Bradford belted a towering homer over the Comiskey Park roof to cap a four run first inning, boosting the Chicago White Sox to a 6-5 win over the Minnesota Twins. The 24 year old slugger, one of the few to clear the park, joined a rare club of players who have hit out of Comiskey Park. Bradford noted his swing remains the same and he aims to keep driving the ball as he seeks to build on last season's modest numbers.
