Well folks, your feel-good story of the week is here and it’s still only Monday afternoon. Today the White Sox rehired a former groundskeeper who spent the past 23 years in prison for a crime he did not commit.

In 1994, Nevest Colman was falsely sent to prison for rape and murder. After further evidence turned up his sentence was lifted. (How it took this long, I will never understand). He was actually released from prison this past November, but was just recently rehired by the White Sox just in time for the season. When Coleman was in prison, all he could think about was returning to the job that he loved.
Today, that dream became a reality once again. Well done to the White Sox for making the right decision in the end. Welcome back Mr. Coleman!
