 Unlike Charles Comiskey, Veeck was considered a player-friendly owner, and players enjoyed playing for him.The season was especially frustrating, as the team won 98 games, four more than 1959, including their last nine in a row – yet finished one game behind the pennant-winning Yankees, who had a late-season 11-game win streak that opened up just enough room to stave off the White Sox's final charge.The White Sox were also involved in one of the closest pennant races in history in 1967.
