Chicago gets first WS title since 1917

The sweep is complete! With a 1-0 victory last night in Houston, the White Sox won their first World Series since before the infamous Black Sox scandal in 1918. In a way, it was nice to see them win. After all, it could have been worse. The Yankees or Braves could have won.

Even though it was a sweep, the series was enjoyable. None of the four games was a runaway. Two of the games were decided by one run, and the other two were decided by two runs. One of the games went 14 innings.

Chicago is in unknown territory. The Cubs haven't won the Fall Classic since 1908, so it's unlikely that there's anyone alive today who remembers a Chicago team winning the World Series. Personally, I'd much rather see the Cubs win than the White Sox. Maybe that'll happen next year.
