The Scouting Report

Led by reigning Rookie of the Year Jose Abreu, the White Sox will defend U.S. Cellular Field against the Reds, Indians, and Twins during home games throughout May. In addition to watching the action on the field and seeing pitchers practice their sleight-of-hand magic tricks in the bullpen, fans can enjoy special promotions, such as a Mother’s Day tote giveaway on May 9 and post-game fireworks on May 8 and 22.

Ninety minutes before the game—and for 30 minutes following the first pitch—fans can file onto the patio on the right-center-field warning track to soak up the sounds of warm-ups, the smell of barbecued meats, and the chilled pours of wine and Miller beer. According to baseball’s official rules, revelers must be at least 21 to drink alcohol, but younger fans can still enjoy the barbecue buffet replete with fried chicken, Cajun chicken, and more.

Chicago White Sox

After occupying the old Comiskey Park for more than 80 years, the Chicago White Sox moved to their eponymous 40,000-seat stadium in 1991, later redubbed U.S. Cellular Field. Over the course of the club’s rich history, it’s managed to produce more than two dozen Hall of Famers, and its mascot, Southpaw, has long since held onto the naïve hope that he too will be inducted. In 2005, the White Sox rode eight consecutive postseason victories to their first World Series title since 1917, snapping an 88-year championship drought. And today, the team continues to excite fans as they enjoy field amenities that include street-festival-worthy concessions, an onsite sports bar, and an array of batting cages and baseball clinics.

Jo Dee Messina

• Song that reveals the most about Jo Dee Messina: “Delicious Surprise (I Believe It)”
• Things you learn from that song, part one: if Messina were a movie star, she would “sip honey from a pickle jar in the back of [her] limousine”
• Things you learn from that song, part two: if she were to be elected President, she would “paint the White House pink and never have to pay the rent”
• Her recent adventure: crowd-funding her latest album, ME, for her own label, Dreambound Records, an experience she described to Billboard as being “scary as crap”
• The ironic thing about the album title: it was chosen by her fans (who also chose the artwork and the included songs)
• What she says about it: “This album is truly for you, the people who appreciate the creative process, as well as my amazing fans.”

Mudderella Chicago on May 30

Designed by women, for women, Mudderella is a true athletic event. Across the 5–7 mile muddy course, the non-competitive fitness event finds participants trekking across plenty of obstacles, along with mud-filled pits, mountains of hay, and other challenges to be conquered. Some are designed to be accomplished solo, while others ask runners to team up and lend a hand. With obstacles likes Hat Trick, Wheels in Motion, and Mud Majesty, the event encourages its participants to step outside their comfort zone. Every course is different, but they all guarantee athletes a chance to get their hands—and the rest of them—dirty for a good time and an even better cause: Futures Without Violence, a non-profit that fights to prevent domestic violence and support survivors.

While plenty of fun can be found on the course, the festivities begin before the start line and end well after groups cross the finish line. The day kicks off with a stretch and strengthen session, after which participants can visit The Works and get free temporary tattoos, purple face-paint, and festive ribbons. Afterwards, they can pay a visit to the rinsing stations, change into some clean clothes—muddy sneakers can be donated to a local charity—and hit the after-party. Drinks, snacks, Mudderella gear, and massages will be available for purchase.
