Recommended Posts

November 4, 1965“The Senor,” manager Al Lopez, resigned his position with the White Sox for health reasons.

Perhaps the greatest manager in franchise history, Lopez had nine winning seasons in his nine full time years as field manager. He won the 1959 American League pennant and was coming off of back-to-back-to-back 90 or more-win seasons in 1963, 1964 and 1965. The Sox averaged 96 wins a season during that time span.

His 840 wins are second most in team history. He returned to manage for parts of the 1968 and 1969 seasons.
