White Sox At A Glance 1966 Outlook
AP summary notes Chicago White Sox finished fourth in 1966, 15 games back. Strengths include seven strong starters led by Tommy John and Gary Peters and high stolen base totals, but the team lacked base hits and finished last in the league with a .231 average and 87 homers. Defensively, 159 errors led the league. Return of Ron Hansen and potential bounceback from Pete Ward, plus rookie Les Josephson, are key. Probable finish: fourth or fifth.
