Alexia Chibucos is a local, talented musician and singer.
Performing for a crowd at a professional baseball stadium is a special event for any young singer. Doing it twice in one summer is something else altogether. Alexia Chibucos sang God Bless America at the White Sox game in U.S. Cellular Field on Sunday. The 14-year-old also sang the National Anthem to Sox fans on May 27. "I wasn't really that nervous. I could only see the people in front of me. I couldn't see all the people (in the stadium) surrounding me," Alexia said. "It seemed like there were a lot of people but I couldn't see that many people." The diehard Sox fans in the Chibucos family jumped at the chance for Alexia to audition. She submitted an audition tape, produced with the help of her Palos South Middle School band teacher last…

A 13-year-old from Palos Park will be performing at this Sunday's White Sox game.
It will be a Sunday to remember for one Palos Park 13-year-old. Alexia Chibucos has been chosen to perform the National Anthem at the White Sox game on May 27. The game starts at 1:10 p.m. and is against the Cleveland Indians. This Sunday's game also happens to be the second Kids Day of the season. Tickets will be available at the park for $1 for kids 13 and under when accompanied by a full paying adult. The special tickets are subject to availability. The pregame ceremony will also feature a tribute to veterans, in honor of Monday's holiday. Sox players will be decked out in throwback uniforms that honor the 1972 team. Chibucos is a student at Palos South Middle School.

The White Sox closed the book on a 2010 season that essentially ended many weeks ago. Next comes an offseason that's rife with crucial questions.
In saying goodbye to the 2010 White Sox on Sunday, did Sox fans say goodbye for good to Paul Konerko, A.J. Pierzynski and Bobby Jenks? My guess — and my hope — is no, no and yes, respectively. Before the Sox beat Cleveland 6-5 to finish the season 88-74 and give Ozzie Guillen his 600th victory as manager, Kenny Williams praised Konerko for being "the classiest player that has put on a uniform." The Sox made a classy move of their own by sending Konerko out to the field alone before the first pitch, allowing the crowd to give him one of several ovations he would receive on this melancholy day. There will, of course, be eager bidders for the services of Konerko, who hit .319 with 39 home runs and 111 RBI this season. And there's no doubt …
