White Sox have now lost 11 games in a row. The Sagging Sox Season record has now leveled-off at a nice and even .250 winning (?) percentage and Win-Loss record of 15 and 45. Just a mere 24-1/2 games behind the Division-leading Clevelanders. But it’s still early, right?! The Sox have also now...

I had a similar experience but it was with Coach Henson after he left the Illini. I ran into him in Las Cruces, New Mexico during the time he had returned there to coach NMSU. He and I were standing at the counter of a Popeye's Chicken place in Las Cruces close to the NMSU campus and he was...

In the Sixties the Sox were often on WGN-TV Channel 9 in Chicago as WGN split time between the Sox and That Other Team. Sox fans had to put up with Jack Brickhouse -- openly a much greater fan of That Other Team. WGN would mostly broadcast whichever ball team was home in Chicago are they rarely...

You are fortunate to have seen one of the great eras in Sox history from 1958 through 1967. Truly the best stretch of seasons in Sox history. It's too bad the franchise descended into hell beginning in 1968 and which in many ways has still never recovered. Little Looey and Nellie and the great...

It was always something special when those NBA teams that got the great UCLA centers (Milwaukee... Portland... LA... Boston...) came into Chicago Stadium to play the old Bulls teams. There was just a special kind of electricity in the air on West Madison Street and the place was always loud and...

White Sox History Watch The 1932 Season for the White Sox is so far the worst single season for the franchise. Finishing 49-102 for a winning (?) percentage of .325. Here’s how the 2024 White Sox compare to that dreadful 1932 team... After 55 Games 1932 – 20 wins, 35 losses 2024 – 15 wins...

Bill Walton played in an era that we will never see the likes of again. He played on a College superteam that won titles every year and dominated the sport in a way that won’t happen again in our NIL/Portal era with talent spread out more evenly and players leaving early if they wish for pro...

Yet another low point for the White Sox season as they lose four straight games at home to the Orioles. Sox were no-hit through 7. New O’s pitcher comes in and promptly allows the Sox a home run. But that was it. Anemic Sox offense gets one lonely hit in 27 mostly feeble at-bats. Sox provide...

It is simply amazing what competent baseball franchise management can accomplish. Competent baseball management that is... which is not what Sox Nation has had to put up with since Bill Veeck sold the team. Baltimore a couple years ago was awful. They did a full re-build... but unlike the Sox...

Some years ago, Women’s Soccer (Futbol) in America captured National interest and attention. Right now it is Women’s Pro roundball that is gaining much greater interest and following. It’s the next logical step now for The Ice Game to be the next Women’s sport to gain a stronger foothold in the...

Jerry-Sox had one great season Couple years then Sox just teasin’ Way too many losing teams Crushing all Sox Nation dreams Jerry, you won’t live forever Change things up – like Chi-Town weather Sell the team to some Sox lovers Make us happy – and our Mothers Years are passing way too fast Time...

These are four very talented and entertaining hockey clubs that are left. One 'Original Six' club. One great team from the old WHA. And the two Southern powers from the Lone Star and Sunshine States. Side note... Wayne Gretzy played for two of those that still remain. (And of course, great...

Jerry... Jerry... came to Chi-Town Bought the Sox when they were down All he paid was 19 Million Sox net worth now TWO FULL BILLION Jerry is from Gotham City Turned the Sox into a pity White Sox Nation has grown weary Not much hope for World Series Jerry wants a new ball park G-Rate Field he...

If only Bill Veeck had the current Sox owner's money to work with... or the money that the team on the wrong side of Madison Street has to work with. Sox fans would have had an owner who was a true baseball fan and the financial means to make great things happen. We would have had 20 years of...

Dallas vs. Florida. Yes! On track and just ahead... There's nothing like the ice game in the Deep South!
