José Abreu hits home runs. That's just what he likes to do. He has 91 total over his first three seasons -- averaging 32 per 162 games. White Sox fans love it. Hawk Harrelson greatly enjoys them:

So, you can't really blame Abreu for trying to hit a home run during a White Sox ping pong event on Thursday night. He can't help himself.

Sadly for @79JoseAbreu, there are no home runs in table tennis... ? pic.twitter.com/0mJynFavPi

Style points? 100. Real, actual ping pong points? Zero.
