  • 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.

I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. 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.
