"South Side Hitmen "??
I admit I'm not a baseball fan, but I never heard of the Hitmen.
I thought you only had the two teams.....White Sox & the Cubs.

In '78 the White Sox were called that. They hit an outlandish number
of homers. Think they had 5 guys with +40.
In '79 they scattered, chasing the free agency money.
I don't blame them, but I totally lost interest in baseball, not
knowing who would be on the team next year.
Total boycott. Just haven't watched a game since - nada.
Back when it was still was the Tinkers-Evans-Chance developed team
game, I would watch Cubs games - when they played the Reds.
That Rose, Morgan, Bench, Foster, Geronimo et al group was my favorite
team of all time. Charley Hustle style. Loved it.
But the South Side Hitmen were fun to watch too.
Had a lot of time invested in them when they scattered.
Geez, a Sunday double-header was about 5 hours.
