Gordon Beckham's Day in Chicago

Ask any Chicago White Sox fan to name the hottest new player on the rooster and chances are all voices will rise up to praise the great new White Sox hope: Gordon Beckham. This young superstar played his first season in 2009 in Chicago, but you will find him at his Atlanta home in the winter (clearly he's a smart guy). Beckham excelled at the University of Georgia, where he tied the record for the most home runs in a single season. Even though he's only been in Chicago for a short while, he's fallen for the Windy City and takes us through his favorite things to do.

12 P.M. One of my favorite lunch spots in Hub 51. I love the sushi there. It's a great light meal before I head to the stadium. Can't go wrong with their Crispy Crunch Roll.

7 P.M. Besides Shaw's and Joe's Stone Crab, one of my favorite go-to [dinner] spots, since I got called up to the major leagues, is Smith & Wollensky. I can't get enough of the cajun ribeye and garlic mashed potatoes.
