Overview

The third edition of the bestselling definitive, comprehensive history of the beloved Chicago ballclub moves the story forward from the champagne-soaked celebrations following the 2005 World Series championship through the 2010 season. Revised and updated, it features dozens of new and rarely seen photographs, more than 200 player biographies, year-by-year coverage from 1900 through 2010, front office profiles, complete postseason wrap-ups, great moments in team history, and a richly detailed statistics section. A treasure trove of little-known facts, oddities, and trivia, plus behind-the-scenes stories of Ozzie Guillen, Kenny Williams, and the entire South Side clan add to the colorful and occasionally outrageous history of the Chicago White Sox.
