Book excerpt: Go-Go to Glory celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of the scrappy Go-Go Sox of 1959--a team that broke a forty-year pennant drought in Chicago's South Side by overcoming the New York Yankee's dominance of the American League. Histories of Comiskey Park and the lead-up to the 1959 season, coupled with original biographies of all the players, coaches, broadcasters, and key front-office personnel, are accompanied by fan memoirs. A project of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR), Go-Go to Glory book gathers the collective efforts of more than forty SABR members and friends of this nonprofit research society.
