The Chicago White Sox were born in the winter of 1893-94 in Sioux City, Iowa. Charles Comiskey, owner and just-retired first baseman, wrangled a concession from the Chicago Cubs to bring his team to the South Side of his hometown in 1900.To spite his North Side National League rivals, Comiskey's team adopted the Cubs' first nickname - the White Stockings - and began play at Southside Park, a former cricket field.

 

While the histories of the AL's oldest franchises contain most of baseball's greatest moments, the saga of the Chicago White Sox includes some of the game's gloomiest and goofiest. From the infamous Black Sox of 1919 to Bill Veeck's three-ring circus of the 1950s, the White Sox have always been on the fringes of the American League's proud tradition.

In 2005 the Chicago White Sox have added center fielder Scott Podsednik, who combined with slugger Jermaine Dye provide that much needed offensive fire power. Orlando Hernandez, Luis Viscano, and Dustin Hermanson add depth to a pitching staff that could be one of the most underrated groups in the AL.
