The White Sox, who were appearing in their first World Series since 1959, and haven’t won the World Series since 1917, completed their sweep of the Houston Astros last night.
The White Sox celebrate their World Championship last night after winning 1-0.
So last year the Red Sox ended their huge string of futility, and now the White Sox have done it. Are the Chicago Cubs next? I am sure that is what those north side Chicago fans are hoping. They haven’t won the World Series since 1908, and they haven’t been to a World Series since 1945. Those are still the current longest streaks, even longer then both the Red Sox and White Sox.
I know there is a rivalry between the two Chicago ball clubs. There are Sox fans that hate the Cubs, and Cubs fans that hate the Sox. But hopefully all Chicago baseball fans can take some solace over the White Sox victory. And again, hats off to them for not complaining and whining all the time like Red Sox fans did.

Let’s hear it for the White Sox! And let’s not forget that it’s because of Houston that the Phillies did not make the playoffs. Even though I am “Old School” and I do not nescessarly like the whole Wild Card thing.
