Book Reviews of Believe It: The Story of the Chicago White Sox 2005 World Series Champions
Book Review: 2005 seems so long ago!
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been rooting for the Chicago White Sox since the days of the "Go Go Sox," featuring Luis Aparicio, Nellie Fox, Minnie Minoso, Billy Pierce, Dick Donovan, and so on. In short, I have rooted for a team that scarcely ever won the biggest games. From 1919 to 1959, no appearances in the World Series, a 40 year desert. And from 1959, another long period without a World Series appearance--46 years. But in 2005, the Sox won it all, for the first time since 1917! Now, only one Chicago team has a long history of non-success in baseball, the Cubs.
This book is terrific for White Sox fans, in that it provides a visual perspective on that magical season, with many nice photos of players and games and fans. The end of the book features that standard for baseball--statistics and records. There is a year by year very brief history--from 1901 (Sox as champs in the American League's inaugural season) to 2005 (the World Championship season). Then comes the 2005 player roster and their respective statistics, for both the season and career. Finally, a brief summary of each game played over the season.
This is a nice memento for White Sox fans, since their team has fallen on hard times recently. But it's nice to remember that one shining season!
