A fan's sad sign perfectly summed up the current state of affairs for the Chicago White Sox, who tied an American League record with their 21st straight loss on Monday.
The White Sox were defeated for the 21st consecutive time, a 5-1 loss to the Oakland Athletics at Oakland Coliseum on Monday night, tying a 36-year-old American League record in the process.
And the losing is taking a toll on the White Sox fanbase, as one member of the paying public showed up to the Oakland Coliseum with a sad sign that perfectly sums up the current state of affairs for the club.Just one win. That's all this poor White Sox fan, who has watched nearly a full month of baseball without seeing a victory, wants. If he doesn't get his wish on Tuesday night, then Chicago will stand alone in American League history as the only team to lose 22 straight contests.
That would belong to the 1889 Louisville Colonels, an American Association team that lost 27 straight games.
