Nobody knows for sure, but Eddie ("The Brat") Stanky, 50, may once have smiled when his mother chucked him under the chin. One thing is certain: the splenetic manager of the Chicago White Sox was in no smiling mood last week. His go-go Sox, who finished fourth in the American League last year and rated as strong contenders this season, were wallowing around in the league cellar after losing their first ten games in a row-an achievement that earned them a line in baseball's record book, ahead of the 1962 New York Mets (nine straight losses...
