JoshPR Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Perhaps the worst season in WhiteSox History. The Club was 56- 106, the most losses ever, with Don Gutteridge fired on Seot 3rd in a front office shakeup. He was replaced by Chuck Tanner. Aparicio was one of the the few bright spots, hitting .313(Forth Best in the league) and breaking Luke Appling's record of 2,219 games at Shortstop. With Gary Peters traded to Boston, Joel Horlen (6-16) and Tommy John (12-17) struggled despite help from Jerry Janeski (10-17) and reliever Wibur Wood (9-13) with 21 saves. Off the field, the arrival of the brewers in Milwaukee cut off avenue of attendance. With all games in Comiskey Park the gates fell to 495, 355, the lowest for the team since 1942. Carlso May made a remarkable comeback from a freak accident during a tour of marine resere duty in 1969, partially destroying his hand. May Batted .285 with 12 homers and 68 RBI's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty spiffy! It's nice to be able to read about some history, what with me being not old enough to know very much about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a link to an interview with May(it is from WSI, but it's a good read nonetheless) link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
