The Chicago White Sox is one of baseball’s oldest franchises, founded in 1894 as a minor league team in Sioux City.¹ The team was purchased by Charles Comiskey and relocated to St. Paul, Minnesota, where it played until 1900.¹ In 1900, the team moved to Chicago and was renamed to the White Stockings. In 1901, the White Stockings became one of the first eight charter members in MLB.¹

From its inception, the White Sox were a force to be reckoned with. They won their first American League Pennant in 1901 and won the World Series against the Chicago Cubs just five years later in 1906.¹ One of the team’s most memorable seasons occurred in 2005, when the team won 99 games in the regular season and went 11-1 in the playoffs, ultimately defeating the Houston Astros in the World Series.¹

Over the years, the White Sox have remained a competitive team in the American League, appearing in the playoffs numerous times and racking up multiple individual player awards.
