In this case, the team in lights is none other than the Chicago White Sox. One of the original franchises in the American League, and surely on of the best ever in the entire glorious history of Major League Baseball (although archrival Minnesota Twins fans might argue over your claim just a bit). Chicago, (also known as “the Windy City”), has always been filled with wining pro teams…But your Chicago White Sox are extra special. There’s no place in the world to play hardball like their unique home stadium located on Chicago’s South Side, the new Comisky Park, none other than the Guaranteed Rate Field, filled with 40,615 screaming White Sox fans…’And with that impetus for learning some of the facts about this team, the session (aka ‘game’) begins.

Impress friends and acquaintances with in depth knowledge of America’s favorite sport. Grady Harp, December 20

Great read

This is an interesting book about the Chicago White Sox baseball team. I liked this book because I learned some new facts that I did not know before reading this book. I read this book for my personal pleasure and personal knowledge. Some of the interesting facts that are mentioned in this book by the author of the book include the following information: The biggest rival of the Chicago White Sox baseball team is the crosstown Chicago Cubs. The Detroit Tigers are the second biggest rival. The Chicago White Sox/South Siders won three World Series titles in their history. From 1901 to 2019, .502 is the White Sox winning percentage. Jacob Nelson 'Nellie" Fox was the third most difficult hitter to strike out in MLB history. Theodore Amar Lyons is the only Hall Of Fame pitcher to record more walks than strikeouts. Manager Tony La Russa led Chicago's drive to the division title under new ownership in 1983.

Baseball has been a favorite game to watch, always wanted to learn how it is played andmost importantly how they catch the ball. Having watched the Chicago White sox playingnumerously, there is no way I could let the opportunity of reading the book pass. First I was notaware that they are over 120yrs old, which translates to excellence and perfection in the field. Ialso did not know the origin of the name Sox, without having read the book. There numerousother facts that I found interesting while trying to answer the questions, some of which I floppedseriously. That does not worry me because I know that Walker has got my back, with the book.Nice and interesting book once more, keep it up and do more of such books.

This book is amazing, it's more than just a trivia book. The questions also serve as a history lesson as these are not your run of the mill trivia questions and even die hard Sox fans will find this book rewarding and challenging. The "Did You Know" sections are a great touch and add an extra level of detail and knowledge you will love. A great gift for any White Sox fan.

A lot of people knows about the White Sox and all that they accomplished. But I would say that anyone can learn even more after reading this trivia book. You can find information like finding out the South Siders, won 3 World Series titles. I found out that Larry Doby was sign first in 1947 before taking over in Chicago, Bill Veeck began the integration of the American League in Cleveland.
