Abstract:
Taking a decade-by-decade approach to the Chicago White Sox baseball tradition, this collection brings together over 40 stories from the most outstanding voices of the team. The spirit of White Sox baseball is not captured by just one phrase, one season, or one particular game; instead, the players and managers who made the magic happen over the decades blend their experiences to capture the true essence of their beloved team. Sox fans will relish the intimate stories told by the figures they have come to cherish.
