This sponsorship is a TRIBUTE to all my fellow die hard White Sox fans and posters on the AOL Chicago White Sox Message Board. I may have made a slight error in comparing the 2008 version of the Sox to the 1968 disaster. Forgive me, Jack Drees!!!!

* indicates Innings Played rather than Games Played was used in Range Factor (RnF) calculations. Team Totals for Innings Played are Innings Pitched by the team's pitchers.
