Program Description

Event Details

Sports historian Charles Billington discusses the 1959 "Go-Go" White Sox. He examines the team from an economic, legal, and social perspective and analyzes the team’s on-field activities. Bitter family feuding and conflicts between new and old ownership are also explained, which, unfortunately, ties to the team’s current problems.
