Something Else I'd Never Heard about Charles Comiskey or John McGraw

My mother used to babysit for the Comiskeys when she was young but I never heard any stories about their family.  This story is one I never heard anything about.

After the 1913 season, Charles Comiskey and John McGraw organized a 56-game world tour to promote baseball.  On this day in 1914 the White Sox and Giants played a game in the Egyptian desert.  

Here is a nice story about this journey which was headlined by Jim Thorpe.
