Johnny Mostil's Razor

The simplest explanation is usually the best...
even when discussing the Chicago White Sox.

Why?

Why Johnny Mostil's Razor?

It's a pun, on Occam's Razor, the principle of logic that (essentially) the simplest explanation that fits is the best one; and on Johnny Mostil, the 1920's White Sox outfielder who, coincidentally, happened to cut himself up (non-fatally) with a straight razor. The title symbolizes the psychotic break that is White Sox fandom.
