Major League Baseball team season
The 1981 Chicago White Sox season was the White Sox's 81st season in the major leagues, and their 82nd season overall. They finished with a record of 54-52, good enough for third place in the American League West, 8.5 games behind the first place Oakland Athletics. However, due to a player's strike, the Athletics would play the 50-53 Kansas City Royals, who had finished behind the White Sox.
Owner Bill Veeck attempted to sell the club to Ed DeBartolo, but the offer was turned down by the other owners.[1] Veeck was then forced to sell to a different investment group headed by Jerry Reinsdorf and Eddie Einhorn.[1]
