The White Sox plan to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their 1993 American League West championship Saturday, with Frank Thomas, Tim Raines, Ozzie Guillen, Jack McDowell, Bo Jackson and manager Gene Lamont among those expected to attend.
It’s a chance for Sox fans to reminisce about a team that had the talent to win it all but fell apart in the playoffs, spoiling one of the more memorable seasons in team history.
While the current Sox go through the growing pains of a rebuild, it’s interesting to note the ’93 team was the product of superb drafting by player personnel chief Al Goldis under general manager Larry Himes’ watch.
