My friend and I just started a World Series history podcast, and it was our time to talk about 1906 this week. We probably butchered a few names, but we did our best with our resources. Enjoy!

I've always been a little perplexed that there really hasn't been that much written about the 1906 WS, maybe if the Cubs had won there would be 50 books written about it. Also surprised not much written about the 1917 World Series as the Sox really had a great team that year as they are the only Sox team to win 100 games and they went on and beat the Giants 4-2 in the WS.
PS You gotta love those patriotic war time 1917 uniforms, I wish the Sox would wear them now on special days like July 4th.Last edited by LITTLE NELL; 03-27-2022, 06:43 PM.Now coming up to bat for the White Sox is the Mighty Mite, Nelson Fox.

I thought the book did a great job not just capturing the history of that 1906 World Series but also what the city itself was like around that time:

Call me old-fashioned, but I am forever stuck in my old-man beliefs that the Sox had superior pitching and the Cubs may have been a bit overconfident. Besides, the gamblers who got to Les’ Cubbies in 1906 apparently didn’t offer them enough money in 1907 and 1908.
