    Post season was a real accomplishment back then. The Yankees were just dominant for four decades of that stretch. Doesn’t mean the GMs were bad / not good, or not superior to Rick Hahn.

    12 of 30 teams now make the postseason. By current watered down standards (40% make it), the following additional Sox teams make the playoffs:

    • Charles Comiskey (14 Seasons) 1904, 1905,  1906, 1907, 1908
    • Harry Grabiner (31) 1915, 1916, 1917, 1919, 1920, 1937, 1941
    • Frank Lane (7) 1952, 1953, 1954, 1955
    • Charles Comiskey II (3) 1956, 1957, 1958
    • Hank Greenberg (3) 1959, 1960, 1961
    • Ed Short (9) 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967
    • Roland Hemond (16) 1972, 1983, 1985
    • Larry Himes (5) 1990
    • Ron Schueler (10) 1991, 1993, 1994, 2000
    • Kenny Williams (12) 2005, 2006, 2008
    • Rick Hahn (9) 2020, 2021

    Retroactive Application of Current Playoff Standards:

    • 1920-1960: Top 3 AL teams (38%)
    • 1961-1968: Top 4 AL Teams (40%)
    • 1969-1975: Top 5 AL Teams (42%)
    • 1976-2012: Top 5 AL Teams (36%)
    • 2013-2021: Top 6 AL Teams (40%)

    Yeah, you can use numbers to make it look better, but 1 post season appearance in over 60 years is beyond pathetic.  Even more so, when you consider that after they split into divisions, the Sox were competing with several expansion teams.  

  2. Yeah, I work in St. Charles, I don’t usually spend much time there because I’m ready to get home when I get off, but the old Main St. area is pretty unique.
