The Chicago White Sox are a Major League Baseball team that plays in the American League Central Division, along with the Cleveland Indians, Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Royals and Minnesota Twins. The White Sox have won three World Series and seven American League pennants since their inception in 1901.
The Sox are widely considered the edgier, rougher twin of their cross-town MLB brethren, the Chicago Cubs. One of the main reasons is the team’s history, particularly when it was the main focus of the 1919 “Black Sox Scandal” that probed the team and found it guilty of throwing the 1919 World Series. Another reason is its location. Playing in Chi-Town’s south side stadium, U.S. Cellular Field (formerly Comiskey Park), has a wild reputation that includes a night in 1979 where the fans literally blew up disco records on the field, hence the name: Disco Demolition Night.
However rowdy the reputation, the White Sox do have a leg-up on their competing fan base—winning the World Series in 2005, something the Cubs haven’t been able to do since 1908. And while an intra-city rivalry with the National League-residing Cubs exists in both bluster and won-loss records thanks to inter-division games, the team’s real rivals are the Detroit Tigers. Whoever the Sox are playing, however, visitors to US Cellular Field will be amazed at the excitement and fun experienced at the ballpark!
