The White Sox ended their own drought in 2005 when they brought the first World Series to Chicago for the first time since the 1959 Series, which they had lost.  The Sox are often looked at as the little brother in Chicago baseball, but for this season, they ruled the city and ended their own 88-year World Series drought.

I’ll admit, I’m not a Sox fan so I didn’t follow this team as closely as the other teams on this list.  The Sox got off to a good start during the season but hit some rough patches through the season before getting hot late in the season and riding their terrific starting pitching through to their first World Series since 1917.

While I followed the 2005 playoffs, I didn’t outwardly root for the White Sox, but I was happy to see them win.  It was good for Chicago and it may have been the catalyst for the Cubs and even other teams in the city to step up their game.
