The White Sox fire manager Nixey Callahan‚ replacing him with Fielder Jones.
On June 4 1904 — The White Sox fire manager Nixey Callahan‚ replacing him with Fielder Jones. Jones was generally regarded as one of the most intelligent field generals in the game, and in 1906, his charges upset a powerful Chicago Cubs team to win the World Series. The White Sox were known as the Hitless Wonders that year because their .230 batting average as a team was the worst in the American League. However, they also led the league in walks and excelled at things such as bunting and stealing bases, in addition to having great pitching and defense. The team set a blueprint for how to play winning baseball in the Deadball Era and Jones was generally regarded as a managerial genius.
