Overview
A list of essential knowledge and experiences all fans of the Chicago White Sox must know and do in their lifetime, this book covers the team’s long history all the way through the promising 2012 season. Most White Sox fans have taken in a game or two at U.S. Cellular Field, have seen highlights of a young Frank Thomas, and remember the team’s 2005 World Series championship. But only real fans remember which player once took his pants off after sliding into first base, can name the opposing outfielder who was showered with beer during the 1959 World Series, or remember who hit the most home runs onto the roof of old Comiskey Park. This is the ultimate resource guide for true fans of Chicago’s South Side team, whether a die-hard booster from the days of Billy Pierce or a new supporter of Paul Konerko and Chris Sale.Author Biography
Bob Vanderberg grew up in Chicago’s west suburbs and attended his first White Sox game—a jarring ninth-inning loss to the Yankees—in 1954. He has been waiting ever since for that magical time when Chicago dominates the American League as New York has. Retired after nearly 40 years on the Chicago Tribune’s sports staff, he is the author of five previous books, three of them on the White Sox. He lives in Lemont, Illinois.May we also suggest...

100 Things White Sox Fans
Should Know & Do Before They Die
By Bob Vanderberg
Contact: Josh Williams - Triumph Books - 312.568.5404 - j.williams@triumphbooks.com
There are White Sox fans who, following South Side Irish family tradition, have been rooting for their team since birth. They vividly recall the "Big Hurt" days of Frank Thomas, Bo Jackson's "moon shot" that clinched the 1993 AL West title, and the heroics of Harold Baines and Carlton Fisk. There are also those diehards who smile at the mere mention of "Minnie" and "Nellie" and "Little Looie" and thank their lucky stars for GMs like Frank Lane, Roland Hemond, Larry Himes and Kenny Williams and for the fact that Ozzie Guillen, Al Lopez, Tony La Russa and Paul Richards all spent quality portions of their managerial careers in Chicago.
100 Things White Sox Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die (Triumph Books, April 2014) by veteran sports writer Bob Vanderberg reveals the most critical moments and important facts – plus a few other interesting and humorous tidbits – about past and present players, managers and rivalries that are part of the storied history that is Chicago White Sox baseball. Scattered throughout the pages, you’ll find anecdotes, interviews, legends and behind-the-scenes stories including:
Whether you’re a longtime fan from the days of Billy Pierce and Luis Aparicio or a more recent supporter of Chris Sale and José Abreu, 100 Things White Sox Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die offers a chance to know the most important facts, the traditions and what being a White Sox fan is all about.
