Overnbsp;the lastnbsp;40 years, Richard Roeper has attended White Sox games, watching as his team established a losing streak that was almost unparalleled in Major League Baseball history. In this account of what it was like to grow up a White Sox fan in a Cubs nation, Roeper covers the recent history of the organization, from the heartbreak of 1967nbsp;and the South-Side Hit Men to the disco demolition and the magical 2005 season when they became world champions. Encapsulating what it means to be a baseball fan, root for the same sorry team no matter what, and find vindication,nbsp;this history of the White Sox is flavored with trivia; anecdotes about players, owners, and broadcasters; plus Roeper"s own humorous and personal reminiscences.
