The plan had been for Steve Stone to call 13 White Sox games this season, all Friday home games.Very good news. Not that I dislike Singleton, but I have not been alone in hoping something like this would happen after the Cubs foolishly pushed him out the door a couple of years ago. I hope Sox radio and television broadcasts will be in sync with one another this year.
That plan changed Tuesday, when the Sox and WSCR-AM 670 announced that Stone would replace radio color analyst Chris Singleton.
With Singleton leaving for another broadcasting job -- sources said it was ESPN's "Baseball Tonight" -- the Sox brought in Stone to take on the full-season gig.
