1941 In what turned out to be quite a heist, the White Sox sent pitcher Clint Brown to Cleveland for pitcher Johnny Humphries. Humphries had been a mediocre reliever for three seasons in Cleveland, amassing nine saves but a 6.37 ERA to boot; the White Sox transitioned him to the rotation, and after a stunning […]

After the re-acquisition of Chick Gandil for the 1917 season, […]

The Chicago Cubs will play a kinda-sorta-almost baseball game this month. Several of them, actually! The first is February 20 at Sloan Park, as the Cubs kick off the Cactus League slate against the White Sox.

Reich was coming off of what on paper looked like a very solid season for the ivy bumblers, slashing .280/.305/.360 over 108 games. However, in an offensively-charged 1949 season, those numbers were actually subpar. […]
