GO-GO'S Talk Show(IRS)

by Rick Johnson

The 1959 American League pennant-winning Chicago White Sox were called the Go-Go Sox because they ran a lot. They had to because they couldn�t hit. Oh sure, they had a few ace batsmen like Nellie Fox and Little Louie Aparicio, as well as slugger Ted �put this on the back of your uniform� Kluszewski, but the rest of the lineup featured locally-loved but nationally-laughable sorts like Earl Torgeson, Sherm Lollar, Bubba Phillips, and Jungle Jim Rivera. Not to mention Turk Lown, the ugliest relief pitcher in the history of bullpen slither.

The 1984 Los Angeles Go-Go�s also feature a lightweight attack, which, like that of the Pale Hose of old, in no way hampers their ability to win the big ones. The closest thing this team has to a power hitter, drummer Gina Schock, is currently recuperating from heart surgery, but the runners just keep scoring.
