Overview

• John 'Mac' McDonald, a 77-year-old lifelong White Sox fan from Glen Ellyn, Illinois, passed away on April 23, 2025, after a short illness.
• His obituary humorously stated he 'couldn’t face another White Sox season' following the team’s record-breaking 41-121 season in 2024.
• The White Sox’s historically poor 2024 campaign remains a sore point as the team continues to struggle in the 2025 season with a 10-29 record.
• McDonald’s obituary also celebrated his life, including his career in software sales, retirement at Trader Joe’s, and passion for Chicago sports, except the Cubs.
• The family requested donations in his memory be made to A.D.O.P.T. Pet Shelter in Naperville, Illinois.
