Chicago White Sox TicketsFrom 1901 to present, The Chicago White Sox have gone thru 39 Managers, 3 Stadiums, and have hosted 4 All-star games. In that time, they have won 3 World Series Championships, retired 9 players #’s, and have had 32 players inducted into Baseballs Hall of Fame. Not too bad considering they are considered Chicago’s second team to the Chicago Cubs.Their first two World Championships came in the team’s first 20 years of existence. The 1906 and 1917 World Series victories proved Chicago could put together a winning team. The White Sox returned to the big dance again in 1919, but not without scandal. Dubbed the Black Sox scandal, 8 Players were accused of throwing the World Series. An investigation was started that threatened the very existence of the sport. Depending on who you ask, there are mixed feelings about what took place. After 1919, The White Sox returned to the World Series again in 1959. The team was dubbed the “Go-Go” Sox, and were faced against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers were on the winning end of the Series at 4 Games to 1, and the season came to a disappointing end for the Chicago White Sox. After the 59 season, White Sox fans had to endure a long, and not so glamorous drought, before they would return to the World Series again. In 2005, Manager of the Year and former player Ozzie Guillen guided his White Sox to their 5th World Series appearance. With the help of General Manager Kenny Williams, the Chicago White Sox put together a team that finally gave the fans of Chicago something to stir about! Led by an amazing pitching staff and a slew of sluggers, the Chicago White Sox swept the Houston Astros in 4 games, awaking the entire city of Chicago out of their long hibernation. Since their 05 Championship, the White Sox have struggled to match the magic of that season. So far, 2008 is proving to be their next best chance at returning to the glory they had in 05. Thru the All-Star break, the sox have been in first place since opening day. With a struggling pitching staff and a few injuries, the second half of the season will be the deciding factor. Their cross-town counterparts The Chicago Cubs are also in 1st place since opening day, once again stealing the thunder in Chicago. Although it has been 100 years since the Chicago Cubs saw October baseball, their fans still wait in shame. Could this be the year we see an ALL Chicago World Series?
