A long time ago, on a baseball diamond far, far away...
SOX WARS
RETURN OF THE BIG HURT
It is a time of hope and celebration on the South Side. After a prolonged absence, slugger Frank Thomas returns to the White Sox lineup, determined to lead his team to the championship that has alluded them for so many years.
Many things have changed in Thomas' absence, however. Traditional baseball powers New York and Boston have faltered, opening the door for the surprising Baltimore Orioles to gain possession of the American League East.
What has not changed, however, is the ongoing rivalry between the Sox and the Minnesota Twins. In spite of the Sox amazing start, their rivals from the north remain in close pursuit. Should the Big Hurt falter in his return, it could spell certain doom for the Chicago White Sox and their fans, who want desperately to return the World Series trophy to the South Side.
