U.S. Cellular Field will fill with south side Chicago fans looking for a win against their cross-town rivals, the Cubs, or maybe one of their division foes like the Cleveland Indians. No matter whom they’re playing, a White Sox game is a baseball experience you don’t want to miss.
The Chicago White Sox play baseball in the Central Division of Major League Baseball’s American League. The franchise traces its roots back to the Sioux City Cornhuskers of the late 1800’s and became the Chicago White Sox in 1901. As of 2007, the team holds 3 World Series titles (1906, 1917, and 2005). The infamous Black Sox betting scandal of 1919 decimated the team and would cause one of the longest championship droughts in sports history. Some of the legendary players to wear the White Sox uniform include Luis Aparicio, Carlton Fisk, Tom Seaver, and Frank Thomas. The Sox have rivalries with the Chicago Cubs, the Cleveland Indians, the Detroit Tigers, and the Minnesota Twins.
The Chicago White Sox play their home games at U.S. Cellular Field, formerly known as New Comiskey Park. The stadium holds more than 40,000 spectators and was opened in 1981. As you watch the White Sox play see if you can pick out the two blue seats in a sea of green ones. They represent where two of the series changing home runs landed in the White Sox 2005 World Series against the Houston Astros.
