- Chicago Baseball And Meeting The Pope: A.J. Pierzynski Talks MLB Playoffs, More
Three months ago, MLB on FOX analyst A.J. Pierzynski visited Pope Leo XIV and presented the pontiff with the final out ball from Game 1 of the 2005 Fall Classic. Pierzynski, who was the catcher for that World Series-winning White Sox team, did not need to make much of an introduction. The pope, who grew up a White Sox fan, already knew who he was. Now, Pope Leo and the White Sox faithful will get to watch their favorite team in the postseason for the first team in five years after the South Siders secured the final wild-card spot. Ahead of the playoffs, I caught up with Pierzynski to talk about the White Sox, playoff baseball in Chicago, the teams who could surprise this October, the advice he’d give to 20-year-old Padres catcher Ethan Salas, and, yes, that pope visit. (Note: Questions and answers may be edited for clarity or brevity.) You debuted as a 21-year-old with the Twins, but it wasn’t until your age-25 season that you played in the postseason. Padres catcher Ethan Salas is about to become the youngest catcher ever to play in a postseason game. I’m curious what advice you would give to the 20-year-old? Pierzynski: Just enjoy the moment. Be excited to be there because you never know how many chances you’re going to get in the postseason. I remember in 2002 I made the playoffs with the Twins, and I was like, ‘Oh, man, we’re going to make the playoffs every year.’ Because we made it in 2002, 2003. Then 2004 we missed, 2005 we won the World Series, and I was like, ‘Oh, man, this playoff thing is easy.’ Then it seemed like we went forever without making it. So, if anything, listen to guys like Manny Machado, Xander Bogaerts, guys who have been there, been through the battles, and just enjoy it. The one thing you never get to do as a player is enjoy the moment because you're in the moment. Even winning a World Series 20-plus years ago, looking back, I just wish I would've gotten to enjoy it a little bit more, meaning step back and look around and say, ‘Man, this is pretty awesome, we’re about to win the World Series.’ When you’re in it, you’re so in it and you’re so focused on the task at hand that you don’t really get that second to just look… [TheTopNews] Read More.9 hours ago - Dr. Oz to Appear On a Panel Moderated by Russell Brand — Who is Currently Faci...
Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP Photo Dr. Mehmet Oz, President Donald Trump’s Medicare and Medicaid administrator, is set to appear on a Tuesday panel moderated by actor Russell Brand — who is currently facing rape charges in the United Kingdom. The Washington Post’s Dan Diamond highlighted the upcoming event in a Monday social media post, writing, “Russell Brand, who’s awaiting trial in London next month on rape and sexual assault charges, will moderate a panel at DC’s MAHA summit tomorrow on reforming a U.S. health agency.” Russell Brand, who's awaiting trial in London next month on rape and sexual assault charges, will moderate a panel at DC's MAHA summit tomorrow on reforming a U.S. health agency pic.twitter.com/vqWJdOpby6 — Dan Diamond (@ddiamond) September 28, 2026 Along with Oz, the panel will feature Chris Klomp, the Department of Health and Human Services’ chief counselor. As Diamond referenced, Brand’s appearance comes shortly before he is expected to stand trial in London. He has pleaded not guilty to three counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault, and one count of indecent assault stemming from allegations by six women. The incidents in question occurred between 1999 and 2009. British authorities began investigating Brand in 2023, and he was later charged and granted conditional bail. Brand has denied engaging in non-consensual sexual activity, declaring after the charges were announced in a video on social media, “I was a drug addict, a sex addict and an imbecile, but what I never was, was a rapist.” He did, however, admit earlier this year that he had consensual sex with a 16-year-old girl when he was 30, describing the relationship as “exploitative” because of the age and power imbalance. In an interview with Megyn Kelly, Brand noted that the U.K. age of consent is 16 and said he was “a very different person” at the time. Brand is not the only celebrity slated to appear at the second annual Make America Healthy Again summit, which will also feature boxer Mike Tyson and actress Cheryl Hines, the wife of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.The post Dr. Oz to Appear On a Panel Moderated by Russell Brand — Who is Currently Facing Rape Charges in the UK first appeared on Mediaite.
