Players 6*
Organizations 0**

Tell us again, Jerry (from the grave), Who wins championships?

* in 13 seasons with Jordan on the roster (including 18 games in '85-'86 due to injury and 17 games in '94-'95 prior to his comeback)

** in 27 seasons of Reinsdorf ownership (excluding the '84-'85 season, as Reinsdorf purchased the team in March 1985 and excluding all seasons during which Jordan was on the roster).

And for good measure ...

1 WS championship
3 playoff series wins
1 AL championship
6 division titles

in 43 seasons of owning the White Sox (I excluded 1994 due to the lockout, although since Reinsdorf largely precipitated that, the season should get counted against him).

That's one non-Jordan championship in 70 combined seasons of ownership.


But he makes up for it w/ loyalty to the local citizenry...

that built him a new stadium & a new arena. Just as fat, drunk & stupid is no way to go through life; greedy, mismanaged & disloyal is no way to go through an ownership tenure.
