Hey there, time traveller!

DALLAS (AP) — Mike Tauchman is switching sides in Chicago.
Chicago announced a $1.95 million, one-year contract for the outfielder on Wednesday.
Tauchman, 34, grew up in Palatine, Illinois, about 35 miles northwest of Chicago, and played college ball for Bradley in Peoria, Illinois. He spent the previous two seasons with the Cubs.
Asked about Tauchman, new manager Will Venable said he likes his consistency.
“Can control the zone. Give you a professional at-bat, good defender, good baserunner,” Venable said. “Just one of those guys that you can depend on every day.”
Tauchman joins a White Sox team that went 41-121 this year and broke the post-1900 major league record for losses in a season. The rebuilding franchise also added a veteran outfielder last month, agreeing to a $1.75 million, one-year contract with Austin Slater.
Tauchman batted .248 with seven homers and 29 RBIs in 109 games this year. He became a free agent last month when the Cubs failed to offer a 2025 contract.
Tauchman is a .241 hitter with 32 homers and 155 RBIs in 474 career games, also playing for Colorado, San Francisco and the New York Yankees. He was selected by the Rockies in the 10th round of the 2013 amateur draft.
