1st April 1889
The last couple of seasons have seen the White Sox slowly fall away from their championship winning form of 1886. The fans are hoping this can be arrested and that winning form return to the squad. The independent league assessors are not sure that is possible with the current squad but are still predicting another top half finish in the AL with 3rd place. The record will be one of 87-67 according to the assessors.
The MLB have decided not to make any changes this year and have left the season as 154 games long.
The fans of the White Sox were all smiles during the charity open day during spring training as they got to see their favourite stars put through their paces as they worked towards the new season. The Gm and Manager were also pleased with this work done in the pre season and made their final selection of the opening day roster as late as possible to give everybody a chance to make it. The final 25 that did make the roster is given below.
