White Sox: Reinsdorf hospitalized in Cooperstown

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago White Sox say owner Jerry Reinsdorf has been hospitalized after feeling lightheaded in Cooperstown, New York.

The team says all tests Friday night indicate he is fine. The 78-year-old Reinsdorf, also chairman of the NBA’s Chicago Bulls, is coherent and resting comfortably, according to the club.

In a statement released Friday night, the White Sox say Reinsdorf is communicating with his doctors and medical staff. He will stay overnight at Bassett Medical Center as a precaution and is expected to be released Saturday morning.

Induction ceremonies for the Baseball Hall of Fame are this weekend in Cooperstown.
