Chris Sale has a new plan for those throwback jerseys he cut up

Chicago White Sox ace Chris Sale returned from his five-game suspension Thursday night, pitching six solid innings against the Cubs. But after the game, the throwback jerseys he destroyed in a fit Saturday were still a topic of discussion.

And, really, why wouldn’t they be? A baseball controversy this silly and this amusing doesn’t just go away after a suspension and a 3-1 Cubs win.

Speaking to reporters after the game, Sale said it was “incredible” to be back on the mound. Then he indicated he had plans for the throwback jerseys he refused to wear and eventually cut up, a move that made the White Sox scratch him from the starting lineup and send him home.

Per MLB.com’s Scott Merkin:

So, if we have this right, Sale wants to put together some sort of fundraiser using cut-up jerseys, of which he’s apparently now the owner (did the White Sox have a you-cut, you-buy policy?)

Maaaaaan, this story just keeps getting better. But, honestly, it’s a good idea. The sports memorabilia market is such that people would pay good money for these now notorious White Sox throwbacks.

Whatever kind of event you do, Chris, might we suggest — nay, beg — that you get Brutus the Barber Beefcake to host.
