‘Who is Harold Baines?’

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Gordon Beckham is about to get a rookie wake-up call this morning.

During Sunday’s practice, Beckham was part of a conversation in which Harold Baines’ name was brought up.

The first-round pick of the White Sox last June then asked, “Who is Harold Baines?”

He will find out this morning, with manager Ozzie Guillen scheduled to stop practice and explain to Beckham who Baines is in front of the whole team, as well as present him with a trophy that has a picture of Baines and all of his accomplishments.
