About the Book

"Going into the 2005 season, the Chicago White Sox had been to only one World Series in 86 years. Their team was haunted by the 1919 Black Sox scandal, and the Disco Demolition disaster in 1979. The team had a recent history of near misses where it lost opportunities to appear in the World Series. These historical nightmares and mishaps hovered over the team as it attempted to finally win a world championship in 2005. As a hot Cleveland Indian squad attempted to take the AL Central championship away, the White Sox team and fans worried that past disappointments would be repeated. Not only did the team fight off the Indians, it had an incredible post-season where it lost only one game. In the past, everything went wrong. In 2005, everything went right. The Chicago White Sox finally give their fans something they never thought they'd experience: a World championship. The present history covers this earthshaking 2005 championship in fine detail, chronicling the build-up, execution, and after effects of an unforgettable series."--
