Tickets to the Chicago White Sox

The Chicago White Sox organization goes all the way back to 1894 when they were a minor league club called the Sioux City Cornhuskers. In 1900, the franchise moved to Chicago and became one of the eight charter members of the American League.

The team was originally called the "White Stockings" but it was shortened to "White Sox" to help newspapers fit the name in a headline. The team played at the South Side Park for a decade before moving to famed Comiskey Park. The team called Comiskey home for 80 years.

In 1990, White Sox tickets began to be sold to U.S. Cellular Field located west of the Dan Ryan Expressway in the city's Armour Square neighborhood. It was built across the street from Comiskey Park.

The White Sox have won three World Series: 1906, 1917, and 2005. The 2005 team swept the Houston Astros to nab the franchise's third world championship. It was the White Sox's first title in nearly 90 years. During the postseason, the White Sox went 11-1 and won all three series on the road.

The championship team of 2005 was led by strident manager Ozzie Guillen, World Series MVP Jermaine Dye, Mark Buehrle, Freddy Garcia, and Carl Everett. Before their 2005 championship, the White Sox were known mainly for their involvement in the 1919 Black Sox Scandal.

That's when several White Sox players, including star Shoeless Joe Jackson, conspired with gamblers to intentionally lose World Series games. The MLB commissioner at the time banned the accused White Sox players from the game of baseball for life.

The scandal sunk the franchise for decades. From 1919 to their World Series year of 2005, the White Sox won just one AL pennant (1959).

Despite playing in different leagues the White Sox's biggest rivals are the Chicago Cubs (the White Sox are known as the South Siders while the Cubs are known as the North Siders). Many White Sox fans feel slighted by the amount of coverage the Cubs receive and the lack of attention their team gets.

The White Sox's other rivals are the Detroit Tigers, Minnesota Twins, and Cleveland Indians. The White Sox are aligned in the American League's Central Division.

Some of the all-time great Chicago White Sox players are Eddie Collins, Luis Aparicio, Harold Baines, Nellie Fox, Bill Veeck, Carlton Fisk, and Frank Thomas.
