The Greatest Pitching Rotations of All Time, Part One

Before I begin this series, I would like to cover my rear and say that these are in no particular order at all. I will do a total of five of these, all in separate articles.

The first team I have chosen to highlight is the 1906 Chicago White Sox. To start things off on the right foot, here is some background information, so you have a better feel for what is going on.

The early 1900s were filled with star pitchers: Christy Matthewson, Grover Cleveland Alexander, Eddie Plank, Cy Young, and the great Walter Johnson. At the time, there were 16 teams in two divisions, the American League and the National League. Before 1903, these two leagues were separate and competing with each other for players.
