February 24, 200521 yr QUOTE(easyw @ Feb 23, 2005 -> 08:34 PM) James T. Farrell's "My Baseball Diary"? Its all about the Sox, and the Irish south side... More here: http://southsideadventures.blogspot.com/ Hmmm. Scroll down on that link, verrrry interesting. Seriously Farrell was a giant of a writer, and Chicago was once fertile ground for top notch writers of all stripes. The novelist Nelson Algren was also a big White Sox fan who wrote some of the most interesting stuff outside of Asinoff on the Black Sox of 1919.
February 25, 200521 yr Author Yossarian - I get it. That's a good one... Major Major? I'll have to read some Asinoff. Never heard of him. Don't know if Bellow was a Sox fan, though he lived on the South Side for a long time. I once rode an elevator with him. Please feel free to give your feedback on my "verrry interesting" blog...
