  • Konerko: Mr. White Sox for the New Millennium
    Konerko: Mr. White Sox for the new millennium By Dr. David J. Fletcher, CBM President Posted Monday, September 30th, 2013 Although it was a disaster for both the Cubs and Sox, the end of Chicago baseball season is always sad. The transition to October is a sorrowful moment even this year. Both teams finished in last place with a combined record of 129- 195. That mark sets all-time Chicago baseball record for futility with the most combined losses. This season is a far cry from 2008, when both teams advanced to Paul Konerko talks the postseason together for the first time since the 1906 World about possible re- Series. The first-ever Subway Series finally was a possibility. But tirement in his dug- both the Cubs and Sox quickly fizzled in the Division Series. Nei- out press conference ther has made the postseason since. on Sept. 27. For me as a Chicago baseball historian, the hardest thing about the season end is the fact that Sunday’s curtain-closer at U.S. Cellular Field might have been be the final time that Paul Konerko (“PK”) appeared in a Sox uniform. PK was pulled from the game, walking off from his first-base position, in a class move by Manager Robin Ventura. He left after one out in the 2nd inning to allow the Chicago faithful one more time to cheer for PK to shouts of “Paulie…Paulie…Paulie.” As is his custom, PK did not soak up the limelight and exited his as fast as possible to get to the dugout, acknowledging the fans with a brief curtain call and hugs/high fives from his teammates in the dugout.

  • Eight Decades Later, Robertson Has Perfect Partner in White Sox History
    Eight decades later, Robertson has perfect partner in White Sox history By Paul Ladewski Posted on Monday, July 27th For 87 years, Charlie Robertson had a rather lonely existence in local baseball annals. In 1922, he had become the first and last White Sox pitcher to author a perfect game, a feat achieved so long ago that his name had withered into relative obscurity since then. Only after Mark Buehrle pitched a similar gem last week did Robertson finally have a partner and he became relevant again. So who was this person forever linked with Buehrle in White Sox history? And what is his story? Charles Culbertson Robertson was born on Jan. 31, 1896, in Dexter, Tex., a speck on the map about 100 miles north of Dallas. In 1919, after three years at Austin College in nearby Sherman, Tex. he signed with the White Sox at 23 years of age. The 6-foot, 175-pound right-hander made his major league debut that season, and he spent the next two campaigns in the minor leagues. Prior to the 1922 campaign, White Sox pitcher Dickey Kerr walked out on the team in a salary dispute. One year after Eddie Cicotte and Lefty Williams were suspended for their parts in the Black Sox scandal, the absence of Kerr left the staff with one proven starter. When his team got off to a 4-6 start, Manager Kid Gleason inserted Robertson into the rotation even though he had only 10 innings of major league experience. It was move made out of desperation more than anything else.
