The 1934 Chicago White Sox finished in the cellar with an abysmal record of 53-99 despite a lineup that includes Hall of Famers Al Simmons, Luke Appling and Zeke Bonura. One the primary reasons was their poor starting rotation. George Earnshaw is the only starter who had a good year. Even worse was their bullpen. Only Harry Kinzy can be called "adequate" in 1934. The Sox changed managers in the middle of the year, replacing Lew Fonseca with Jimmie Dykes. Dykes partially turned things around, and the Sox finished mostly third and fourth for the rest of the 30s.
