The Chicago White Sox

I want to put this in text before someone else makes this assertion.

Surprised I am that last year’s last placed Chicago White Sox are currently doing quite well. Well, I am going to lay this on you CJoy inc subscribers. Here it is.

Not only is luck, fate and ability important in competition, but also psychological strategy. Head games work wonders. Sox use the media in doing so. That is if you take my advice.

My advice? Get a darn good team. Nearly an unbeatable roster. (Easier said than done of course.) Then play a head game to get the edge on all the competitor teams in professional baseball.

Second phase: make two tailored to fit each player suits for the Chicago White Sox ball players. One suit, all white including shoes with platinum lettering for name and number and Sox logo. Viewers can only see it when light directly hit it. High visibility text used in warehouses and factories.

The second suit: All black including shoes with no lettering or name or logo. Viewers will have to know or will be school by broadcast announcers. Getting fans deeper into, and more committed to this particular sport.——Or light gray lettering if that’s too much to ask for.

Note: Even though my reasoning for these suits relates to my understanding that the Chicago White Sox are and will forever be both, the Chicago White Sox and the Chicago Black Sox.

Phase three: The media (hype—-get more viewers for baseball). Media tell the story of ‘the’ why The Chicago White Sox were called the Chicago Black Sox. An abridged story that goes something like this.

In the early 1900s, 1919 to be precise, The Chicago White Sox were known to be an unbeatable team. Even though this was the case, the teammates were not adequately compensated for their performance.

So they threw the game, the big game. The World Series, in a sleazy bet scheme to up their take. It was uncovered and exposed and they became known as the Chicago Black Sox.

As negative as this is. It is the organizations history. If not legacy. We cannot only harbor a bad taste in our mouths over this as Chicagoans. We must embrace and accept and forgive the why . The actual action. The reasonings behind it. One has to look at both sides. It was disclosed that players felt betrayed by the White Sox organization. They felt that they were being not only treated unfairly but also unappreciated. Think about it. I know two wrongs do not make a right but it happened and we ain’t got a time machine to go back and fix it. There isn’t any reset button. They chose and what they chose put us all in an uncertain if not bad place. Why did I say uncertain. Put yourself in their place. To give your all and not be compensated fairly for your efforts is shattering. Sure, they could have quit and took a moral stance, but most didn’t. They loved the Chicago White Sox.

Let’s hide our how shall I put this, blackness.

I do!

Negative—-

Neg…

nig….

Is it? Or is it part of the whole. Let’s bury the truth.

If they, The Chicago White Sox were to do this. Take my advice, make sure that it is done for only one year. ‘And all team players and management wear either the white uniform together or black uniform, together. All uniform, together. A team. A uniformed United team. Keeping it TIGHT! In togetherness!

No hot shot super star showing up in red Nikes. Or any other subversive substitutes and divergence.

No one goes on tv if not in the designated attire.

Viewership will be piqued.

At least that’s what I think.
