Chicagoist continues to wait anxiously in anticipation of Friday's start to the annual crosstown series between the Cubs and White Sox.

The extensive coverage gives a nice overview of the colorful baseball history in Chicago -- Cubs, Sox and Negro Leagues -- and includes a number of tidbits even the most die-hard Chicago baseball fan didn't know.
