Lip Man 1 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 October 11, 1899 - The new American League was formed in Chicago. The city didn’t have a team in the league at that point but soon got the St. Paul, Minnesota team with their player/manager Charles Comiskey. They set up shop on the South Side at the 39th Street Grounds at 39th and Princeton. October 11, 1991 - Sox manager Jeff Torborg who was named Manager of the Year for 1990 resigned to take the job as manager of the New York Mets. It was a strange move and the real reason for it wasn’t made known until years later as Torborg told individuals and provided examples of how then White Sox G.M. Ron Schueler forced him out wanting to hire his own man, who turned out to be Gene Lamont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
