Summary

Chuck Garfien speaks with White Sox slugger Jake Burger about his hot start at the plate and his home run this week that went into the White Sox record books.

You'll also hear the story from 2018 when Chuck took Jake out for a burger at spring training, which started a long feud over Chuck's decision to order 7-Up instead of Sprite. Plus, Chuck gives his thoughts on the White Sox struggles and where they go from here.
