In 1904, The White Sox had a team ERA of 2.30. It sounds extremely impressive until you consider that they were third in the American League that year. The league average was 2.60, and the pennant winning Boston Americans led the league with a 2.12 ERA.

As impressive as the White Sox pitching was, their hitting was fairly mediocre. Their .242/.300/.316 team lines were just at league average (.244/.295/.321). And while they were in the bottom half of the league in homeruns, they led the entire league in stolen bases (216) and sacrafice hits (197). The 600 runs that they scored was good for third in the league.

Danny Green was the hitting star. He was in the top ten in the American League in OBP (.352), Runs (83), Walks (63), stolen bases (28) and times on base (214). Doc White was the pitching star as he led the team in ERA and strikeouts. His 1.78 ERA was the third best in the AL and he was third in the league with seven shutouts.
