Jerry Reinsdorf's ownership of the White Sox has been marked by a history of financial frugality and union-busting, resulting in strained relations with fans and players alike.
The White Sox's current record of 36-116 has put them on track to achieve the lowest winning percentage in major league history, reminiscent of the 1916 Philadelphia Athletics.
Connie Mack, comparable to Reinsdorf, managed the Athletics with a cheapskate approach while still achieving success, demonstrating the complexities of financial management in sports.
Mack's method of underpaying players while maintaining a positive front during contract negotiations illustrates the challenges of balancing financial constraints with team morale and performance.
