History of the Chicago White Sox 1901-2021

If you’ve followed the Sox at all, you might be familiar with the “Hitless Wonders,” the 1919 Black Sox scandal, the 1950s Go-Go club, South Side Hit Men (1977), Winning Ugly (1983), the 2005 World Series Champions to Tony LaRussa's 2021 club. Check out Ed Walsh, the Sox’ 40-game winner in 1908; or the four 20-game winners in 1920 (one entered the Hall of Fame, whereas another was banned from baseball). How about the Sox rookie that pitched a perfect game in the early 1920s; “Old Aches and Pains” playing shortstop; and the GM who traded for Nellie Fox, Billy Pierce, Minnie Minoso, among others. Then there’s Little Luis - the 1^st of 6 Sox’ Rookies of the Year; Early Wynn, the club’s 1^st of 3 Cy Young Award winners, and Dick Allen, the Sox’ 2^nd MVP who helped “save” the club from moving to another city. Okay, let's add exploding scoreboards, "Demolition Derby,” and playoff heartaches in1983 and 1993. The stars were many: the Big Hurt, Albert Belle, Paul Konerko, Mark Buehrle’s pitching wizardry, and the magical 2005 championship team that won without any league leaders or award winners.
