It’s impossible to pinpoint the exact moment White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf decided to fire Kenny Williams and Rick Hahn, but Reinsdorf indicated to Sox beat writers that it was very shortly before Aug. 22, when he lowered the boom on the longtime front-office executives.
Was it four days before then, as the Sox were being pummeled 14-1 in Colorado, or the day after that, when they were losing 11-5? Or was it one day before he kicked Hahn and Williams — a ‘‘son,’’ Reinsdorf calls him — to the curb, as the Sox were back home and humiliating themselves 14-2 against the Mariners at Guaranteed Rate Field?
