The Cubs and the White Sox
McFarland & Co Inc (Verlag)
978-0-7864-4669-8 (ISBN)
Beginning with the premise that there is no other rivalry in team sports like that between the Cubs and the White Sox, this work traces the history of the antagonism between the fans of the two clubs. Of special interest is the baseball culture that is fostered in Chicago, as well as a recounting of the seminal on-field moments between the two teams. Also included in this title are over 50 photographs and two essays that deal with the question of bias at the Chicago Tribune.
Dan Helpingstine is a job placement counselor. He lives in Highland, Indiana.
