Taking their lead from the guy in the manager's office, White Sox marketing types and some of their more casual fans romanticized the Ozzie Guillen era as one of in-your-face baseball — aggressive baserunning, hard slides and pitchers knocking back batters.

That was never how Guillen's teams won. Nor was it why Guillen was generally a very solid manager during his eight seasons on the South Side."
