Chicago White Hats
Description: The Chicago Whales only existed for three years, as part of the Federal League, a renegade baseball outfit that challenged the American and National leagues from 1913 to 1915, before abruptly going broke. The team is barely a footnote in baseball history, but it played an important role in Chicago history, because it brought the game to the North Side, which is why tens of thousands of Big Ten graduates live there today. The Whales were the first team to play baseball at the corner of Clark and Addison, and the first to win a championship there, in 1915 — 101 years before the Cubs did it. Yet I could find nothing commemorating them at Wrigley Field.
Description: The 1940 White Sox featured some terrific payers: Wally Moses, Jack Knott, Rabbit McNair, Julius Solters, Muddy Ruel, Pete Appleton, Moose Haas, Joe Kuhel, Taft Wright, and the incomparable Luke Appling. Despite the talent, they finished with a record of 82–72, good enough to tie for 4th place under manager Jimmy Dykes. Celebrate the history of the Sox with this retro-vintage design. DYK? The White Sox were originally known as the Sioux City (Iowa) Cornhuskers, and the team was founded as a minor league organization in 1894. The club was purchased by Charles Comiskey at the end of its first season and was relocated to St. Paul, Minnesota.
