Lefty Out There, an Arlington Heights native whose name is Franco Campanella, created a 70-foot-tall and 100-feet-wide mural with his trademark squiggles surrounding Matthew Hoffman’s famous “love” script. The black-and-white, six-story artwork covers the south wall of the @properties building at 806 N. Peoria St., just south of Goose Island.

“Khalil has shown to us from the very first day he got here he’s very mature, he’s very focused,” Nagy said. “He’s learned. I think coach (Michael) Pitre has done a great job of helping him learn the game. You know who else has done a great job is those backs in that room. They’ve insulated him the right way and taught him, whether it’s protections, scheme, how to watch tape, and so if it comes to that, we have a lot of confidence in Khalil.”

Last week, rivals American Airlines, Alaska Airlines and JetBlue told their staff they needed to be vaccinated. United Airlines in August was the first major airline to do so and has since said that more than 97% of its workers have been vaccinated. United also said it would put staff who couldn’t get the shots due to medical or religious reasons on unpaid leave until COVID-19 rates go down.

Robert and the Sox had agreed to a six-year, $50 million deal with two options before his first major-league game, the largest deal in major-league history for a player without any service time. On July 24, 2020, Robert makes his long-awaited debut in the opener of the 2020 season, which starts in July after the MLB shutdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Unlike the debuts of Moncada, Giolito, Kopech, Eloy Jiménez and Dylan Cease, no fans are allowed inside the ballpark to witness Robert’s first game.

“Obviously the ones down there didn’t go well for us,” Sox general manager Rick Hahn said during a Monday conference call. “They went better right after the All-Star break, but if you look at the rosters we had in those seven games, sort of right in the midst of our injury issues. Even the three games at our ballpark, our roster is in a stronger place than it was in our first two meetings we had with them.

With an eye on the Lions defense before the snap, Fields spotted two high safeties as he came to the line of scrimmage but recognized Dean Marlowe walking up into the box. Mooney had his opening to knife through the zone coverage. Fields held Will Harris, the deep safety, then threw in perfect rhythm with a bull’s-eye shot to Mooney, who caught the ball in stride, shook off a tackle, gained 22 more yards and nearly broke free.
