sox and the city Nov 03, 2006
By Margaret L. Kraus
"sox peggy"
This is the ultimate read for any loyal White Sox fan. Winning the world series was a dream come true for me, and no one shares the magic of that wonderful season like Richard Roeper in this great book. Brought back many special memories of growing up a true sox fan in a cubs town, with the ultimate finale, a world series winner for our beloved white sox.

Sox & the City Aug 17, 2006
By Richard E. Guise
timely & funny, as a long time Sox fan I could relate to many of the descriptions in Roeper's book. The book gives a different perspective from a so called non sportswriter or jock. I would highly recommend it for hard core Sox fans.

Great look at White Sox baseball Jan 06, 2007
By K.A.Goldberg
Give movie critic Richard Roeper "Two Thumbs Up" for this upbeat look at rooting for the White Sox in a city where the more-popular Cubs have the advantage. Roeper describes his lifelong attachment to the Sox, recalling past baseball games, seasons, players, etc. He shows that the underdog White Sox typically draw smaller crowds and less media to their plainer arena on the city's non-glamorous South Side - add losing seasons to that mix and you can see why the Sox nearly moved to Milwaukee (1968), Seattle (1975), Denver (1980) and Florida (1988). Ironically, these hardships and the fortitude of Sox fans to endure them are rarely mentioned by a national media that fixates on the big-money Cubs and other glamour teams. Roeper concludes by describing part of the magical 2005 season, when the White Sox finally broke through and won the World Series - their first title in 88 years! That triumph cheered Chicago's long-suffering fans and attracted much-desired national attention.
This lively and often humorous narrative could have been longer than 197 fast-reading pages. I felt the author underestimated how many people in Chicago root hard for both teams, but this is still an entertaining read for baseball fans here and across the nation.

You don't have to be a Sox fan to enjoy this book Aug 27, 2010
By Indian Prairie Public Library
"ippl.info"
From one White Sox fan to another, Roeper details his love of the White Sox and of baseball. His wry sense of humor takes you from his childhood in the 1960s through the championship season of 2005. It's part memoir, part Sox history, and part baseball nostalgia. You don't have to be a Sox fan to enjoy this book - and you can't help but appreciate the movie and television trivia scattered throughout.

Lots of fun for Sox and Roeper fans Aug 08, 2010
By whmiller32
As a lifelong Chicagoan and South Side partisan I knew I'd enjoy the subject matter. Richard Roeper writes in an extremely accessible and guy-down-the-block way that made the whole book feel like a couple of friends talking Sox over beers, only a lot more clever and funny. Open a brewskie and have fun.
