Though the Chicago White Sox’s 4th place finish in AL Central in the 2007 season left much to be desired, changes made in the off-season mean they’ll be real contenders for the division title in 2008. The defensive roster received a much needed shot in the arm, with Octavio Dotel and Scott Linebrink joining the bullpen, Carlos Quentin, Nick Swisher and Olympic gold medalist Alexei Ramírez strengthening the outfield and Orlando Cabrera coming in as shortstop. Now all the team needs is tons of fans encouraging them, so get your tickets to US Cellular Field and help make 2008 a winning season for the Chicago White Sox!

The Chicago White Stockings

The Chicago White Sox were established by Charles Comiskey in 1900 as the Chicago White Stockings. Quickly becoming the White Sox they established themselves as a contender early in the Century winning the 1906 and 1917 World Series. Unfortunately, those 2 Series victories are usually forgotten about due to the 1919 “Black Sox” scandal when 8 White Sox players were banned from the game for conspiring to throw the 1919 World Series.
