Recently, manager Tony La Russa told reporters several White Sox veterans ‘‘are playing under trainer instructions that if they make a routine out, they slow it down’’ while running to first base. I haven’t been given those instructions, so I am going full speed ahead in providing you with questions (and answers). I just hope I don’t pull a hammy in the process. Because so many of you seemed to enjoy the summer music quiz last week, let me point out that “The Hustle” was a song by Van McCoy and the Soul City Symphony that went to No. 1 on the Billboard charts during the summer of 1975, a season in which the Cubs and Sox each finished in fifth place (I blame it on disco).
Enjoy this week’s quiz.
