Overview

South Side Legends is the definitive chronicle of the Chicago White Sox-a team whose legacy is built on grit, resilience, and unwavering loyalty. From their 1900 founding as charter members of the American League to the dramatic triumph of the 2005 World Series, this book traces the full arc of a franchise shaped by scandal, redemption, innovation, and glory. Through sweeping narrative and rich historical detail, readers will relive the unforgettable moments that define White Sox baseball: the ""Hitless Wonders"" of 1906, the heartbreak of the Black Sox scandal, the rise of the Go-Go Sox, the thunderous era of the South Side Hitmen, and the dramatic emergence of modern stars like Tim Anderson and Luis Robert. Along the way, South Side Legends celebrates icons such as Frank Thomas, Minnie Miñoso, Paul Konerko, Carlton Fisk, and José Abreu-players who became symbols of a city and its people. This is not just a sports history. It's a story of Chicago's South Side-its people, pride, and passion. For fans old and new, this is the ultimate tribute to the team that has always been more than just a team. This is the story of the White Sox.
