Ron Hansen speaks!
He came to the Sox in trade for franchise icon Luis Aparicio. He played on three consecutive South Side teams to win over 90 games. He got Joe Horlen his last out in the 1967 no-hitter that everyone believed could launch the Sox to World Series glory that season remembered on the South Side today as the Improbable Nightmare. He's Ron Hansen and he's here to speak to WSI's totally biased Sox Fans about glory and heartbreak in the 1960's. Another exclusive interview from WSI by Mark Liptak!
