The Chicago White Sox

The White Sox team was started in the winter of 1893 in Sioux City, Iowa. Charter members of Ban Johnson's Western League, the club was owned by just-retired first baseman and manager Charles Comiskey. After a brief shift to St. Louis, the Chicago-born Comiskey wrangled a concession from the Chicago Cubs to bring his team to the South Side of his hometown in 1900. To spite his North Side National League rivals, Comiskey's team adopted the Cubs' first nickname - the White Stockings - and began play at Southside Park, a former cricket Field.

The Chicago White Sox is now the Major League Baseball team playing in Chicago, Illinois; it is in the Central Division of the American League and is currently managed by Ozzie Guillýn, who is the former team's shortstop. It is one of two major league teams based in Chicago; the other one is the Chicago Cubs of the National League.

The White Sox won five of the first nineteen league champions' titles. However, beginning from 1920 and up to 2005 the franchise managed to win only one championship, and only in 2005 won its first World Series Championship since 1917. That year the team finished with 0.611% (99 wins versus only 63 losses). In the following 2006 the team managed to end the season only with the lower 0.556% (90 wins and 72 losses) and became third in the AL Central.

In the year 2000, the White Sox boasted of one of their best teams since the 1983 club, though much was not expected from them. Imagine the surprise when the White Sox led the division in early June. That lead proved to be good enough and the Sox captured the AL Central Division title 95-67 record. The team could not carry success into the postseason, however, and were bested by the wild-card Seattle Mariners in 3 games in the AL Division Series round. The Sox finished the 2001 season in 3rd place with an 83-79 record.

On January 12, 2007, the franchise traded right-handed pitcher John Lujan from the Texas Rangers in exchange for catcher Chris Stewart. The latter was expected to be the third in line for Chicago catching position. However, the trade of Chris Stewart made it obvious that the team is satisfied with the current situation, especially after having signed 31-year old Toby Hall to a two-year deal beginning with the 2007 offseason.

Put your courage into action.

If you endure, persist, stay at it once you have begun, you are
displaying courage.

One might say that persistence is a form of courageous patience,
a rare type of courage. If you have courageous patience, you
have the ability to stand firm before you get any feedback or
results. When you plan your work and work your plan, you
will build and develop that type of courage within you.

Whenever you need to bolster your courage, concentrate your
attention on your Power Picture, the picture you have of
yourself that says *I Can Do It!* Create a mental picture of you
as you mean to be, performing as you would like to perform.

Temper your thoughts of fear with thoughts of courage and
self-esteem. What you dwell upon, grows . . .

Be careful.
