I am on sabbatical during the spring 2010 working on a project looking
at the 1977 White Sox and Cubs' pennant races with the backdrop of a
transforming post-industrial Chicago. While the narrative will feature
the baseball season, the larger analytical framework will use sports as
a way to look at changing ethno-racial, economic, and political
relationships and dynamics in the city.

Any suggestions for monographs or archival material from those
interested in the history of baseball, post-industrial urban
environments, post-Daley (the First) Chicago, etc. would be most
welcome.
