At 7 p.m. Thursday, March 14, “The Chicago White Sox and the Pennant of 1959,” will be presented by author and sports historian Charles Billington at the River Forest Public Library, 735 Lathrop Ave.
Billington will discuss one of Chicago’s most beloved teams, the 1959 White Sox. With their unique style of play the ‘59 Sox finally triumphed over their bitter rivals, the New York Yankees, bringing a pennant to the South Side for the first time in 40 years.
Billington will analyze the season and show rare film footage. He will also go into the behind-the-scenes front office conflicts, discuss the economic climate of baseball in that era and the impact and social implications the White Sox had on the fabric of the city.
