The Chicago White Sox joined the MLB in 1900 as one of the eight charter franchises of the American League. Though originally known as the Chicago White Stockings, the team had changed its name by 1904 once newspaper editors started shortening “Stockings” to “Sox” to save headline space. Ever since, the White Sox have won a total of three World Series championships and six American League pennants. A Magical Season In 2005, after 88 long years, the White Sox won their first World Series since 1917. It was a dominant run for a team that was built on a durable starting rotation and a manager who played by his own set of rules. Overall, it was the franchise’s third World Series championship, and the start of a successful era under general manager Kenny Williams. From Philip Humber’s perfect game—the 21st in Major League Baseball history and only the 3rd in franchise history—to the dozens of Baseball Hall of Famers who have graced their roster, the White Sox have been a part of countless special moments in baseball history, and they are sure to continue that trend and repeat their amazing 2005 performance in upcoming years.
