 | | Even after the Go-Go Sox hustled their way to a pennant for owner Bill Veeck in 1959 (losing to the Dodgers in six in the World Series), the Sox could never again really get their act together, at least not well enough to get back to the World Series. |
 | | Although they had some pretty good players (Luis Aparicio, Nellie Fox, Early Wynn, Hoyt Wilhelm, Bill Melton, Tommy John, Dick Allen, Goose Gossage, Jim Kaat, Carlton Fisk) and some pretty good teams between 1960 and 1983, they only came really close in 1964, finishing a game behind the last winner of the 1947-1964 Yankee dynasty. |
 | | However, they lost in four in the AL championship series to the Orioles, and holes in the rest of the lineup, to say nothing of ’83 aces Rich Dotson and La Marr Hoyt being flashes in the pan, soon ended that dream. |
