Young Jerry played punchball, a game where a small rubber ball was thrown up and punched by the "batter." This was before stickball, before baseball, before he understood that the greatest joy in his life was as close as a trip to his friend Norman Rickens' house.
Reinsdorf works out with a trainer three days a week, something he started in '92 and has continued "religiously" since he had a stent put in to resolve a blockage in a coronary artery in January of this year.

 Jerry Reinsdorf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jerry Reinsdorf (born February 25, 1936 in Brooklyn, New York) is the owner of Chicago White Sox and the Chicago Bulls.
Recently, he helped the White Sox win the 2005 World Series and, in the process, collected his seventh championship ring overall (the first six were all with the Bulls in the 1990s), becoming the third owner in the history of North American sports to win a championship in two different sports.
Reinsdorf was inducted into the Appleton, Wisconsin Baseball Hall of Fame on August 5, 2006 in a ceremony at Fox Cities Stadium prior to that evening's game between the Midwest League Wisconsin Timber Rattlers and Beloit Snappers.

Reinsdorf told John Alevizos, a New England developer who unsuccessfully tried to move the Expos to central Connecticut, on Monday that baseball is deciding between the District, Las Vegas and Monterrey, Mexico, and that Washington is the most likely choice.
"Jerry said that after the meeting with the mayor and several folks from the city council there, he was confident about getting through [public] funding for a stadium," Alevizos said.
If Reinsdorf's comments are true, that would effectively eliminate Northern Virginia after an 11-year pursuit of baseball that almost saw the move of the Houston Astros in 1995 to the commonwealth.

If there is one thing that's certain about Reinsdorf and his Chicago sports empire, it is this: Most people in Chicago care a whole lot more about the future of an ex-White Sox minor leaguer named Michael Jordan than they do about anybody who plays for the baseball team on the city's south side.
And as much as Reinsdorf - who declined to be interviewed for this story - has enjoyed the Bulls and their six world championships this decade, he'd rather have the White Sox win the World Series.
However, on what would be the final day of baseball that season, Reinsdorf stood in the Comiskey Park press box and told the media that he was going to be a ''hawk'' in the players strike.

When baseball has a first-rate brawl, Jerry Reinsdorf is usually in the middle of it.
But if he wants it rough, he's going to get a full dose of Reinsdorf because the White Sox' owner is the key player on the relocation committee that, after years of study, has finally decided the Expos belong in the District.
What Reinsdorf will almost certainly tell the Executive Council -- every one of the eight owners thinking, "Jerry is speaking, but it's Bud talking" -- is that baseball ended up with a bunch of crummy or half-baked relocation options.
