I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

  • Ray Herbert Recalls Surprise 20-Win Sox Season in ‘62
    Ray Herbert recalls surprise 20-win Sox season in ‘62 By Mark Liptak Posted Wednesday, October 30th, 2013 Winning 20 games is a feat in any era. It’s especially tough in the 21st century with pitchers working on four days’ rest and getting 35 or fewer starts. But it wasn’t a given in the mid-20th cen- tury when a bigger strike zone, no DH and four-man rotations increased the odds of a 20-win season for a capable starter. Some of the best-known Sox pitchers of modern times have not won 20 while working on the South Side – Mark Buehrle, Tommy John, Joel Horlen. Instead, some surprising names reached that pitching bench- mark like Ray Herbert, Esteban Loaiza and Jim Kaat. Herbert connects to the great Sox pitching staff of the 1960s. “Excellent” is the word that best describes a group that lead the American League in ERA Ray Herbert warming up at Comiskey Park during in four of five seasons between 1963 his surprise 20-win season in 1962 . Photo credit: and 1967, that produced 11 All-Stars www.sfmsports.net. from the pitching staff, that had two 20- game winners, three 19- game winners, a “Fireman of the Year”, and four league leaders in ERA during the decade. The names roll off the tongue…Gary Peters, Joe Horlen, Juan Pizarro, Tommy John, Hoyt Wilhelm, Eddie Fisher and Wilbur Wood. But there were also pitchers rather un- heralded, rather forgotten, who also contributed to an organization that averaged 96 wins a year from 1963 to 1965, and 92 wins between 1963 through 1967.

  • 70 Cubs Lead Roster of Near-Misses
    ’64 Sox, ’70 Cubs lead roster of near-misses By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Saturday, July 23, 2016 Pete Ward (far left) could have been complemented by any one of (from left) Johnny Callison, Norm Cash and Don Mincher to win the 1964 pennant for the Sox. But the latter three had been traded away in deals that killed the Sox. The Cubs are more likely than not playoff-bound, unless a late-season Cardinals surge totally shocks them and puts past collapses to shame. The White Sox are among the game’s disappointments, frittering away a 23-10 start and dropping far out of the wild-card race before the July 31 trade deadline. So fans of both teams can gear themselves mentally for different viewpoints in the last third of the 2016. Happiness on the North Side, abject discontent on the South Side. At least the rooters know where they stand. But when their teams appear locked and loaded to win, and just missed the postseason, many of the fans needed counseling. The sense of disappointment, even betrayal, was keen. Popular belief states the 1967 Sox and 1969 Cubs are the top near-misses in history. But both teams merely generated the most publicity in the spotlight. www.ChicagoBaseballMuseum.org [email protected] We’ll pick out two representatives from the post-World War II era that led the pack in disappointment. The 1964 Sox won 98 games, yet finished second in the then 10-team American League. Meanwhile, by a Bill James measuring stick, the 1970 Cubs should have won 94 games and won the NL East by five games.
