Solid gag by the White Sox here.

In the days leading up to the Academy Awards, White Sox manager Robin Ventura gave Adam Dunn, who had a small part as a bartender in Dallas Buyers Club, the go-ahead to slip out of spring training to attend the awards ceremony.

Dunn got the part in DBC because he's an investor in the production company that made the film, and also because, according to Ventura, "He looks like he would be doing that job."
