This week’s White Sox-related quote is an explanation for something we fans of a certain age had cause to wonder about way back when.
But first, the answer to last week’s edition of Cryptosoxery, which goes even further back:
“The fans may be surprised to know that during my freshman year at Oglethorpe, I waited on tables and never made an error, never dropped a tray nor broke a dish.” — Luke Appling
That was a quote of great modesty on the part of the Hall of Fame shortstop — no arrogant HOFBP he.
