Today in White Sox History: November 26

1961 The spitball, banned since 1920 in Major League Baseball, remained so after an 8-1 vote by baseball’s Rule Committee. The pitch came back up for question after commissioner Ford Frick advocated for its return, calling it easy to throw and not dangerous to hitters. While no White Sox pitchers were rumored to be throwing […]

The final damaged Tropicana Field roof panel has been replaced, which means we are on track to have the stadium ready for the April home opener. With the current lease agreement ending after in 2028, the team is certainly feeling some urgency to, as developers like to say, “turn dirt” on a new stadium. We […]

A brief history of Yankees who got first-place MVP votes

Awards season is now behind us, and we are fully entrenched in the offseason. But, between retrospectives on the 2025 Yankees, and awards voting still relatively fresh on the mind, I was brought down a rabbit hole of past MVP voting. There are plenty of Yankees who have gotten surprising first-place votes on MVP ballots, […]

Hall of Fame Poll: Carlos Delgado

You could get whiplash going from Roger Clemens to Carlos Delgado. One is an asshat and one is just a great person. Anyway, Delgado was a one-and-done on the Writers’ ballots. He was on 3.8% of the ballots, which is pretty much criminal. The reason? He protested the war in Iraq by not standing during […]

Professional baseball players are humans like you and I

If you’re lucky, your job will have some objective measure for your position’s success. Maybe it’s total sales made, machines serviced, revenue generated, pageviews reached, whatever.

Yankees 2025 Roster Report Cards: Ryan McMahon

The Yankees opened the 2025 season with what one might call a concept of a plan at third base. Their Opening Day third baseman was Oswaldo Cabrera; once Cabrera went down for the year with a grisly leg injury, the scrambling began. Jazz Chisholm Jr. was pulled back off his native second base to man […]

Cubs trade target: MacKenzie Gore

MacKenzie Gore was one of the starting pitchers most mentioned in trade rumors last July. In the end, just as was the case for every big-name starting pitcher, he wasn’t traded, largely because it was perceived that the Nationals were asking for more in return than teams were willing to give. Gore had good numbers […]

White Sox must prioritize stability in 2026 Winter Meetings

The White Sox need to approach this year’s MLB Winter Meetings with one primary goal: diversifying their talent. Last year, Chicago focused on acquiring high-ceiling prospects and veterans who had strung together a couple of average seasons. While that was enough to get them through their first full rebuild year, the Sox now face a […]
