This summer when Chicago Cubs players or the White Sox — sometimes the Milwaukee Brewers — boarded their respective team buses, they may have spotted a Georgia cap on the dash of the bus.
The cap belongs to James Winston of Chesnee, South Carolina. Winston, as everybody calls him, drives for Champion Coach out of Greenville, S.C. He has been driving charters for his company for 17 years and has become a loyal Dawg fan and aficionado.
