The Chicago Tribune Book of the Chicago White Sox: A Decade-by-Decade History

The Mommies Reviews

I would like to welcome a new Christmas Gift Guide 2018 Sponsor. The newest addition is from Chicago Tribune Staff and they’re featuring a new Novel called The Chicago Tribune Book of the Chicago White Sox: A Decade-by-Decade History.

You will see The Chicago Tribune Book of the Chicago White Sox: A Decade-by-Decade History inside this years Christmas Gift Guide through a feature and review. I will be back after Christmas to share the review  with you as because I’ve put the novel up for Charlie for Christmas.

When Charlie was in school I thumbed through Chicago White Sox and I can’t wait to read this novel myself because I’ve always been fascinated with Baseball.

I like learning about players from the past and I would like to let you know we can use Chicago White Sox in our Homeschooling Class for Literature and Reading and art.

The Chicago Tribune Book of the Chicago White Sox is a decade-by-decade look at one of  American League’s original eight teams, starting with the franchise’s Windy City beginnings in 1900 as the Chicago White Stockings (the former name of crosstown rivals the Cubs) and ending with the current team.

For more than a century, The Chicago Tribune has documented every Sox season through original reporting, photography, and box scores. For the first time, this mountain of Sox history has been mined and curated by the paper’s sports department into a single one-of-a-kind volume. Each era in Sox history includes its own timeline, profiles of key players and coaches, and feature stories that highlight it all, from the heavy hitters to the no-hitters to the one-hit wonders.

To be a Sox fan means to know breathtaking highs and dramatic lows. The team’s halcyon days―starting with the championship  won during the first official season of the newly formed American League in 1901―have always been punctuated with doldrums and stormy stretches, including a period of time in the ’80’s when it looked likely that the team would leave Chicago. But with the die hard support of their fans, the “Good Guys” have always made a comeback―including the team’s landmark 2005 World Series win, the first by any Chicago major league team in 88 years. This book records it all.

The award-winning journalists, photographers, and editors of the Chicago Tribune have produced a comprehensive collector’s item that every Sox fan will love.
