Are they "honoring" the 1919 team? The White Sox are the only major league team to wear socks of a different color than their name.

Jeff Kent regularly batted third as a Giant. Not sure where he's hitting now with the Dodgers. Your point is still correct, a third place hitting 2nd baseman is a rarity. Kent's a first ballot hall-of-famer. Hey, it worked for Dusty in SF. Maybe Walker is headed for the Hall and we just don't know it yet. But I doubt it. Nice post.

The Sox remain virtually unknown, victims of the marketing masterpiece that is the Cubs: Wrigley Field, ivy, the WGN Superstation and hapless, ill-fated, defeatist ball clubs. I'm uncertain of your eco-political observations for two reasons. The Cubs are at some level a capitalistic triumph. And the Sox haven't been market-responsive until relatively recently (they've been awful for decades). Still, it's great to see the Sox rising out of the ashes of anonymity. I hope their assent continues. Here's the truth. The Democrats are the Cubs- hapless and defeatist- never missing an opportunity to miss an opportunity. Great piece, Rick.
