The 1999 season marked the 40th anniversary of the Go-Go Sox, the only American League team besides the New York Yankees to play in the Fall Classic during the period from 1955 to 1964. Summer of the Sox describes the "59 season, month by month, from Nellie Fox"s game-winning home run in the 14th inning on opening day to Chicago"s pennant-clinching victory on September 22 against second-place Cleveland. Included are fascinating sketches of all of the team"s key contributors, including Hall of Famers Fox, Early Wynn, and Luis Aparicio.
