The Chicago White Sox are a professional baseball team based in Chicago, Illinois. The White Sox presently play in the American League's Central Division in Major League Baseball. From 1991 to the present, the White Sox have played in U.S. Cellular Field, which was originally called New Comiskey Park . The White Sox are one of two major league clubs based in Chicago, the other being the Chicago Cubs of the National League.
They are most prominently nicknamed "the South Siders ", differentiating from the North Side Cubs; "the Pale Hose "; and sometimes by the national media as "the ChiSox ", a combination of "Chicago" and "Sox" (as opposed to the BoSox). Other nicknames include "the Go-Go Sox , a reference to 1959 AL champions, who got that nickname; "the Good Guys ", a reference to the team's one-time motto "Good guys wear black", coined by Ken "Hawk" Harrelson; and "the Black Sox, " the name attributed to the scandal-tainted 1919 team. Most fans refer to the team as simply "the Sox ". The Spanish language media sometimes refer to the team as Medias Blancas for "White Stockings."
One of the American League's eight charter franchises, the Chicago team was established as a major league baseball club in 1901. The club was originally called the Chicago White Stockings, after the nickname abandoned by the Cubs, and the name was soon shortened to Chicago White Sox. At this time, the team played their home games at South Side Park. In 1910, the team moved into historic Comiskey Park, which they would inhabit for more than eight decades. It was there that, in 1919, the infamous Black Sox Scandal occurred.
A number of notable players have played on Chicago's South Side. Ed Walsh played all but one season in his Hall of Fame career for the White Sox, and owns baseball's lowest ever career ERA. Frank Thomas hit most of his over 500 career home runs for the White Sox. A number of other players ranging from sluggers Jim Thome and Ken Griffey, Jr. and pitchers Tom Seaver and Steve Carlton spent short parts of their careers with the team.
The White Sox also have a unique rivalry with their cross–town rivals, the Chicago Cubs. Prior to the 1960s, the cities of Chicago, St. Louis, and Philadelphia each had two teams, one in the American League and one in the National League (New York had two National League teams, and one American League team). The teams would only play in occasional exhibition games, or in the World Series, though fans would enjoy seeing their own team finish with a better record than the other. Philadelphia and St. Louis lost their American League franchises, while New York lost its National League teams (New York later regained a new National League franchise). However Chicago is the only city to have never lost both teams, giving the franchises a unique rivalry that has enjoyed over a century of continuous existence. In North American professional team sports, no two teams have existed in the same city for as long. With the advent of interleague play, the teams now play each other six times each year.
