Chicago White Sox - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Chicago Cubs are the crosstown rivals of the White Sox, although the nature of the rivalry is unique; with the exception of the 1906 World Series, in which the White Sox upset the favored Cubs, the teams never met in an official game until 1997, when interleague play was introduced. One of the AL's eight charter franchises, the White Sox dominated play during the early 20th century, winning 5 of the first 19 league pennants; but the team's fortunes dropped precipitously after it became involved in what is debatably the greatest scandal in the history of the sport. On the south side, in contrast, White Sox management's threats to move the team to Tampa Bay in the late 1980s, banishment of fan favorite Andy the Clown from the ballpark, and significant role in the 1994 strike, all further demoralized the fan base. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Chicago_White_Sox   (8906 words)

GEORGE S. "PAPA BEAR" HALAS SR. Faced with the problem of finding a suitable spot to play in Chicago, Halas arranged to lease Wrigley Field from Bill Veeck, Sr., then owner of the Chicago Cubs baseball team. With the overwhelming national popularity that professional football enjoys today, you wouldn't suppose that a small business concern such as the Staley Starch Works of Decatur, IL., could have played much of a part in the proud history of the game. Convinced that his company could no longer afford to sponsor such a venture as a professional football team, Staley gave Halas $5,000 and advised him to move the team to Chicago. www.geocities.com /dibears201.geo/halas.html   (654 words)
