by Warren Brown Warren Brown’s team history of the Chicago White Sox originally appeared in 1952 as part of the celebrated series of major league team histories published by G. P. Putnam. Among the many stories Brown recounts are the incredible adventures of “the Hitless Wonders” of 1906; the round-the-world exhibition tour by the White Sox and Giants in 1913; and of course the notorious Black Sox. |

A Novel by James T. Farrell Much like author James T. Farrell, Mickey Donovan—the main character in Dreaming Baseball—grew up on the South Side of Chicago dreaming of becoming a star for the White Sox. Donovan’s dream came true in 1919 when he made the team. Despite the fact that he spent most of his rookie season on the bench, it was truly a magical year—until the Black Sox turned it into a nightmare. |

by Lee Allen The Cincinnati Reds chronicles each season of the organization’s early years, most notably the National League pennants and World Series Championship, including the infamous Chicago White Sox scandal. Allen retells many of the early Reds stories likely forgotten or unknown by today’s fans. |
