Gifts for White Sox Fans
The 2005 Chicago White Sox ended 88 years without a championship — and they did it in style, sweeping the Houston Astros in four straight games. The South Side finally had their title, and the sweep clincher is the night every White Sox fan carries.
White Sox — 2005 World Series · Game 4
The last time the Chicago White Sox won the World Series before 2005 was 1917 — before World War I ended, before Prohibition, before the radio. Eighty-eight years. Freddy Garcia pitched seven strong innings in Game 4, Bobby Jenks closed it out, and the South Side erupted. The scorecard shows every inning of the sweep clincher: the pitching lines, the runs, the final out that made the White Sox champions for the first time in living memory.

The longest drought on the South Side
The 1919 Black Sox scandal is baseball's original sin — eight White Sox players accused of intentionally losing the World Series. The 1917 title that preceded it was the last clean championship for decades. The franchise went 88 years between titles, a drought that outlasted the Curse of the Bambino and drew less national attention only because of the Cubs on the North Side. When Ozzie Guillén's 2005 team swept through October, it was a full-franchise exhale.
The dominant October run
The 2005 White Sox didn't just win the World Series — they dominated the entire postseason. They went 11–1 in October, winning the Division Series against Boston and the Championship Series against the Angels before sweeping Houston. Jermaine Dye won MVP. Mark Buehrle started Game 1. Freddy Garcia won the clincher. The South Side had one of the most complete October runs in modern baseball history.
Any White Sox game, any era
The 2005 sweep is the title everyone carries, but the White Sox have deep history on the South Side. The 1959 AL pennant. Frank Thomas. Paul Konerko's grand slam in Game 2 of the 2005 Series. A specific game at Old Comiskey or Guaranteed Rate Field. Use the Game Finder to name their game →
