Chicago White Sox history
The White Sox story starts in the Western League in 1894, with the Sioux City Cornhuskers. The club moved to Saint Paul, Minnesota, as the Saints, then landed in Chicago in 1900. When the American League claimed major league status in 1901, Chicago's White Stockings were among its eight charter teams. They trimmed the name to White Sox in 1904.
Their first World Series win came in 1906, against the crosstown Cubs, with a defense-first squad nicknamed the Hitless Wonders. Another followed in 1917 over the New York Giants. The 1919 Series, though, was spoiled by the Black Sox Scandal, and eight players were banned by Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis. Home games are on the South Side at Rate Field, the rebuilt Comiskey Park.
