Saint Mary’s First-Generation Scholars were treated to a game July 23 at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago between the Chicago White Sox and Minnesota Twins. John ’77 and Joanie CST’78 Domanico  sponsored a skybox for the cultivation event.

Attendees were treated to a special guest appearance by All-Star White Sox player Minnie Miñoso, the first African American in a White Sox jersey.  Miñoso talked about what it was like to play against Willie Mays and Joe DiMaggio. Rob ’76 and Kim CST’76 Figliulo joined the group in trying on Miñoso’s World Series rings.
