The Chicago White Sox, often referred to as the "South Siders," are a professional baseball team based in Chicago, Illinois. They are one of the eight charter franchises that make up the American League (AL) of Major League Baseball (MLB). With a rich history dating back to their founding in 1900, the White Sox have become an integral part of Chicago's sports culture. Throughout the decades, the White Sox have achieved significant success and garnered a dedicated fan base. One of their most memorable accomplishments came in 1906 when they captured their first World Series title under the leadership of manager Fielder Jones. This unforgettable triumph is still considered one of the greatest upsets in baseball history. In addition to their championship victory in 1906, the White Sox have claimed five AL pennants: 1917, 1919, 1959, 2005, and 2020. Their 1917 World Series title, led by player-manager Eddie Collins, is particularly noteworthy as it was the last time the White Sox brought home baseball's ultimate prize until their triumphant 2005 campaign. Renowned for their distinctive black, white, and silver color scheme, the White Sox have showcased numerous star players over the years. Frank Thomas, known as "The Big Hurt," stands tall as one of the team's all-time greats. His powerful presence at the plate earned him multiple AL MVP awards and secured his place in White Sox history.
