Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Stupid Distrument. I'm your host,
Speaker 1: Cap Pound. Today we're talking about the Chicago White Sox.
Speaker 1: Chicago White Sox have one of the most fascinating histories
Speaker 1: in baseball. They are founded in nineteen oh one as
Speaker 1: one of the American League's original eight franchises. The White
Speaker 1: Sox were established by owner Charles Kamiski after he moved
Speaker 1: the Saint Paul Saints to Chicago. The team won the
Speaker 1: nineteen o six World Series despite earning the nickname the
Speaker 1: Hitless Wonders for their lack of offense. Unfortunately, they are
Speaker 1: also remembered for the infamous nineteen to nineteen Black Sox scandal,
Speaker 1: when eight players were accused of intentionally throwing the World Series.
Speaker 1: The scandal changed baseball forever and led to the appointment
Speaker 1: of the game's first commissioner. Sometimes history remembers your biggest
Speaker 1: mistake just as much as your biggest victory. This has
Speaker 1: been the Stupid histruy minute, and I'm kept Pound. This
