A unique account of the Chicago White Sox from the earliest days of the team's founding in 1900 by Charles Comiskey through the triumphant 1990s. Major events in White Sox history, including the Black Sox scandal, the Go-Go glory days, and the fight for a new stadium to replace Comiskey Park in the 1980s, are framed around a broader discussion of the team's inability to compete with the powerful cross-town Chicago Cubs in a media market that has relegated the South Side ballclub to secondary status.
