Chaney was singing Lift Every Voice and Sing, often referred to as the Black national anthem, in honor of Jackie Robinson Day. He was scheduled to also perform The Star Spangled Banner. During his rendition of Lift Every Voice and Sing, Chaney stopped twice and then fell to the ground near second base. Fans observed in stunned silence as paramedics attended to him for several minutes. He was then placed on a stretcher and transported to a hospital. According to the White Sox, Chaney was alert when he was taken from the field. The White Sox organization released a statement on X, formerly Twitter, stating, The White Sox longtime anthem performer, Gerald Chaney, experienced a medical emergency while singing during pregame tonight.

The entire White Sox family is sending love to Gerald and his family for a full and speedy recovery. The game’s start was delayed by 12 minutes. In other news, actress Joy Harmon, known for her unforgettable role in the 1967 film Cool Hand Luke, has passed away at the age of 87. Harmon’s brief appearance in the prison drama featured a now-iconic scene where she sensually washes a car in front of a chain gang of convicts, a moment that became a defining image in American cinema. Beyond Cool Hand Luke, Harmon also starred in other notable films of the era. Following her acting career, Harmon transitioned to a new venture, opening a bakery in Burbank, California, named Aunt Joy’s Cakes. She was known for her willingness to engage with fans, often signing autographs for those who visited her establishment. Harmon continued to work at the bakery until she fell ill with pneumonia several weeks prior to her death. After a period of hospitalization and rehabilitation, she returned home to spend her final days in hospice care. Her family, which includes three children and nine grandchildren, remembers her as a vibrant and optimistic individual who brought joy to many. Additionally, the founder of the popular SantaCon event, Michael Pildes, is facing federal wire fraud charges. Prosecutors allege that Pildes has been using the charitable holiday tradition, a large-scale bar crawl where participants dress as Santa Claus, as a personal source of funds. Indictments claim that Pildes diverted over $1 million in donations that were intended for charitable causes. SantaCon, marketed as a charitable convention and registered as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, has reportedly raised close to $3 million over the past five years. However, authorities contend that only a minimal portion of these funds has actually reached legitimate charities. The event itself involves crowds dressed as Santa Claus participating in bar crawls throughout New York City and other locations, often characterized by heavy drinking. Meanwhile, reality television personality Joseline Hernandez, 39, announced her pregnancy with her husband, DJ Balistic Beats, 44, on Wednesday. Hernandez shared photos on Instagram showcasing her baby bump and her husband, captioning the post with New beginnings 🌸 and I’m thankful. While the gender of the baby has not been revealed, Hernandez disclosed in an interview with The Shade Room that she is two months pregnant. She expressed her excitement, stating, We’re super excited, and we just want everything to go well. We want good energy, love, a lot of love from the people; we need that right now. The couple has been together since 2019 and married in the fall of 2022. Their relationship was documented in season 16 of a reality television series. Hernandez is also a mother to her first daughter, Bonnie Bella, born in 2016, from a previous relationship. DJ Balistic Beats has reportedly been involved in co-parenting Bonnie Bella. Finally, a new product has emerged in the THC market, offering a unique approach to consumption.
