+1. My Dad was a White Sox fan born 1914 and raised on the South side of Chicago at 69th and Hoyne in the Englewood neighborhood. He got me hooked on the Sox 50 + years ago. My Dad and I used to play a lot of ball together.
I have read that if the "Black Sox" scandal had not broken up that Sox team, they very likely would have gone on to be like the New York Yankees in the 1920's. Those 8 Sox players were found not guilty in a court of law. Commisisoner Landis decided to ban them for life despite being found not guilty.
Now today, A-Rod is still playing. And don't get me started on Pete Rose.
