@milb_central: MURAKAMI IS A GEM 🤣 Munetaka Murakami has continued to make his presence felt in his first MLB season, helping lead the Chicago White Sox into the postseason. The rookie first baseman has provided major power throughout the year, including a three-homer stretch that helped establish him as one of Chicago’s biggest offensive threats. Murakami also became a fan favorite after his unforgettable “I AM JAPANESE!” celebration when the White Sox clinched their playoff spot. Now, Murakami and the White Sox are moving on in October. Chicago swept the Houston Astros in the AL Wild Card Series, winning Game 2 by a 7-3 score to advance to the AL Division Series against the Cleveland Guardians. It marks the White Sox’s first postseason series victory since their 2005 World Series championship, giving Murakami and this young Chicago team an opportunity to keep their playoff run going. #whitesox #baseball #MLB
