Why the White Sox might be headed for a 1983 turnaround
from The White Sox Podcast w/ Chuck Garfien · host Chicago Sports Network
In June of 1983, the White Sox were under .500, struggling on offense (especially at catcher), and failing to meet expectations. Sound familiar? But in the middle of June, the offense woke up, the starting rotation got hot, and they ran away with the division. Could a similar pattern happen again this year? Chuck Garfien and Ryan McGuffey compare and contrast the disappointing starts for both teams, how close Tony La Russa came to getting fired in 1983, plus when and if this year’s White Sox team can turn its season around.
