The 1915 Chicago White Sox season involved the White Sox finishing third in the American League.
With the acquisitions of Eddie Collins (over the winter) and Joe Jackson (in August), Chicago now had the two hitters they needed to win the 1917 and 1919 AL pennants.
Offseason
- December 8, 1914: Eddie Collins was purchased by the White Sox from the Philadelphia Athletics.[https://www.baseball-reference.com/c/collied01.shtml Eddie Collins page at Baseball Reference]
