White Sox Tidbits (2009)

they won't do anything in the playoffs if they magically made it there....the pitching sucks. get what you can from the guys who are leaving anyways. I grew to like Thome, but I understand the move.

Oh....and getting rid of Contreras is a great move no matter what they got for him.

Sports History

On this day in 1959 in another of Bill Veeck's stunts, 3-feet 7 inch Eddie Gaedel returns to a major league field along with three other midgets. Arriving by helicopter and dressed as Martians, the quartet shake hands with Nellie Fox and Luis Aparicio near second base on Comiskey Park's infield and give them toy ray guns as the PA announcer informs fans the crowd the ETs have arrived to help the somewhat short keystone combo in their struggle with giant earthlings.
