Could There Be Hope for Chicago Baseball Fans?!

True Ming, but Veres can close. He was St. Louis' closer before Isringhausen got there. He did a decent job IIRC (I had him on my fantasy team that year, I think). You'll LOVE Remlinger, btw.

Oh, GePap, Coolidge was the first to throw out the first pitch at a World Series too. Taft threw out his pitches on Opening Day. Taft was a HUGE baseball fan (in more ways than one ).

And Nixon was the first to throw out a pitch at a nighttime All Star Game. Reagan was the first to actually SIT in a dugout during a game, and then later was the first to call play-by-play in a half-inning while President .

The last time the Cubs won a World Series was in 1906. The last time the Sox won was 1959. I haven't noticed either team making many major trades so far this off season. Good luck.

Error! Error!! Error!!!

The White Sox won only two games: Game 1: 11-0 & Game 5: 1-0.

The L.A. Dodgers won the other four, with relief pitcher Larry Sherry getting two of the wins and saving the other two. Future legends Sandy Koufax and Maury Wills were both on the roster, but I don't believe either played.

Selig proposes to make whoever wins the All Star Game have home field advantage in the WS. GREAT idea, I think.

Well, everyone and their mother was screaming that at Selig back when the whole tie game fiasco happened, but kudos to Beer for doing the right thing. Maybe now the players will treat the All-Star Game with a little decency, let alone importance.

Why yes... why do you ask?
