Chicago White Sox infielder Sam Antonacci is being profiled as the personality driving the team's renewed energy during the AL Division Series. Known for slamming helmets in celebration and his lighthearted clubhouse presence, including handing out ice cream, he is portrayed as embodying the club's younger, looser culture after its rebuild.

Why now: The White Sox are playing in the postseason and Antonacci has become a breakout clubhouse leader and fan favourite.
