White Sox honor Konerko with statue

CHICAGO

The Chicago White Sox have honored captain Paul Konerko with a statue and say they will retire his No. 14 next season.

The White Sox paid tribute to their retiring star in an emotional ceremony before Saturday’s game against the Kansas City Royals. They did not announce the statue or plans to retire his number in advance, although neither move was exactly a stunner.

Toward the end of about a 35-minute presentation, chairman Jerry Reinsdorf pointed toward the left-field concourse. Dozens of black and white balloons were set loose, revealing a bronze statue of Konerko waving his right fist, just as he did when he hit a grand slam against Houston in the 2005 World Series.

Kapanen, Ebbett score, Pens beat Blue Jackets

PITTSBURGH

Kasperi Kapanen and Andrew Ebbett scored in the first period to help the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 2-1 on Saturday in an exhibition game.

Penguins forward Sidney Crosby was expected to make his preseason debut, but skipped the game because of the death of his grandmother.

Kapanen roofed a shot past goalie Sergei Bobrovsky on a power play at 5:52, and Andrew Ebbett scored 5:52 later. Marc-Andre Fleury has 18 saves for Pittsburgh (2-2-0).
