Today in White Sox History: October 31

October 31 marks several notable moments in Chicago White Sox history. In 1937, Ed Arthur Walsh, the son of franchise icon Ed Walsh, passed away at age 32.

Decades later, in 1972, Wilbur Wood narrowly missed out on the AL Cy Young Award to Gaylord Perry despite a stellar season. By 2005, the club celebrated a World Series title, though Sports Illustrated famously snubbed the team on its cover in favor of an NFL regular-season game.

Additionally, former manager Tony La Russa retired in 2011, and the organization officially appointed Will Venable as its new skipper in 2024.
