Is Vargas dead?

Robert has to fatten up on the lefty since he hits them a lot better. 

Probably why he was benched early in the blowout. 

Oblique injuries can take time.

attendance is dismal for a bobblehead Saturday night game

Maybe Bill Veeck wasn’t all that popular, quite of few there tonight probably never heard of him.

He should get no credit for the 1959 team.  Then he made a series of dumb trades.

Yep, Frank Lane and Chuck Comiskey were the architects of those Go Go years.
Those trades of Cash, Battey, Callison, Romano and Mincher by Veeck will live in infamy. Despite those trades, new GM Ed Short after Veeck sold to Arthur Allyn made some great trades and the Sox had their 3 best consecutive years ever in 63, 64 and 65 winning 94, 98 and 95 games those 3 years.

I’ve always wondered what would have happened if Dorothy Rigney had sold to her shares to brother Chuck instead of to Veeck. Eventually my guess is Comiskey who wasn’t very wealthy probably would have sold by the time free agency came around.
