Winning Ugly in 1983 and Losing Ugly in 2023.
It's hard not to join them in focusing instead on the Blackhawks draft or the upcoming Bears season. It is even tempting to take a sports sabbatical and catch up on one's reading.
Like the 2023 edition, the 1983 White Sox also seemed destined for oblivion in the early months of the campaign. There was unhappiness within the clubhouse, with Tom Paciorek issuing a"play me or trade me" ultimatum in early May. The previous night, the Sox had been shut out by Boston 2-0, and even though the Sox had beaten the Red Sox 12-4 the night before that, all their scoring had been done in the first three innings.
That night, the Sox were mired in sixth place in the seven-team American League West, seven games behind California. By that time, La Russa had found magic by installing Fisk in the second spot in the batting order. The team also swapped second basemen with Seattle, acquiring a catalyst on the basepaths in Julio Cruz in exchange for Tony Bernazard.
