On the mound last week, Chris Sale, the 24-year-old ace of the Chicago White Sox, was practically unhittable.

But what really left teammates in awe of Sale was his performance on a charter flight to California. In a four-hour masterpiece, Sale packed two ice cream sundaes and, by one teammate's estimate, around 30 bags of potato chips into one of the skinniest bodies the sport has ever seen.
