Christopher Allen Sale (born March 30, 1989), nicknamed The Condor, is an American professional baseball pitcher with the Chicago White Sox of Major League Baseball.
Sale was born in Lakeland, Florida. He graduated from Lakeland Senior High School. After his senior year for the Dreadnaughts, Sale was drafted in the 21st round of the 2007 Major League Baseball Draft by the Colorado Rockies, but chose not to sign and instead attend Florida Gulf Coast University.
He played college baseball for the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles baseball team under head coach Dave Tollett. During the 2010 season at Florida Gulf Coast, Sale posted an 11–0 win–loss record and a 2.01 ERA over 17 games. Sale pitched 103 innings while striking out 146 and walking 14. He led the NCAA in strikeouts at the end of the regular season. He received both conference and national Pitcher of the Year honors.
Like many top college players, Sale spent the NCAA offseason pitching in wooden bat summer leagues. In 2008 he was an All-Star for the La Crosse Loggers of the Northwoods League, and it was during his time in Wisconsin that coaches suggested he adopt his now distinctive low three-quarter arm angle. In the summer of 2009, Sale pitched for the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox of the Cape Cod Baseball League. Chris had a record of 4–2 and an earned run average of 1.47 with Y-D, with 57 strikeouts as well. He was awarded the MVP in the Cape Cod All-Star Game.

Torii amazed by Sale's pitch
Holding onto our beliefs
Like a child holds to its father
It's like we're trying so hard to breathe
With our heads underneath the water
Keep trying to find the balance
Of our love and our convictions
'Cause we know that life in You
Moves far beyond religion
We know, we know
We know, we know
That nothing else even matters
But love
We keep trying to find a way
To come together
Lord, take these fears away
And make us one, one, one, whoa
Lord, make us one, one, one, Lord, make us one
We are the face of Christ
In a world of shadows
Is it God's love we're fighting for
Or our denomination's ego?
We got to let go of pride
Embrace the idea of difference
Make unity our calling
And move within forgiveness
We know, we know
We know, we know
That nothing else even matters
But love
We keep trying to find a way
To come together
Lord, take these fears away
And make us one, one, one, whoa
Lord, make us one, one, one, Lord, make us one
Imagine what could be, imagine what could change
If love was all that really mattered
Would the light of Christ finally shine through
Me and you?
Holding onto our beliefs
Like a child holds to its father
It's like we're trying so hard to breathe
With our heads underneath the water
We keep trying to find a way
To come together
Lord, take these fears away
And make us one, one, one, whoa
Lord, make us one, one, one, Lord, make us one
Make us one, one, one, whoa
Lord, make us one, one, one, Lord, make us one, oh
Make us one, one, one, whoa
Make us one, one, one, Lord, make us one, oh
Make us one, one, one, whoa
