Chicago White Sox

The Chicago White Sox are an American professional baseball team based in Chicago. They compete in Major League Baseball as a member club of the American League Central Division and play their home games at Rate Field on Chicago's South Side. The club originated in the Western League, founded as the Sioux City Cornhuskers in 1894, moved to Saint Paul and then to Chicago in 1900, and was one of the American League's eight charter franchises in 1901. The White Sox won the 1906 World Series against the Cubs and the 1917 World Series against the New York Giants. Their 1919 World Series was marred by the Black Sox Scandal, in which eight players were found to have conspired with gamblers to fix games.
