You did a good job on this. You wrote good copy and edited it well. My one suggestion for the future is when you're doing the voice-over recording, try not to speak so fast. Even a normal speaking voice can be tough to follow when there are images flashing by and lots of data to absorb. So yeah, remember to speak a little more slowly and deliberately, with good pronunciation. Anyway, a good video! I'll admit I didn't know enough about the '05 Sox despite being a big fan of Buehrle.
@Justin Ward A lot of people care. There were 1.7 million people at the Championship parade. Cubs had around 2.5 Million.....not much of a difference for a team that's supposedly 100x cooler than the Sox.
As a Cardinals fan, I feel that a World Series between the White Sox and Cubs is needed so the Sox can remind everyone who ended their curse first and more. I was personally happy for ya'll when you won it all in '05 (also because the Astros beat my Cardinals to face y'all). And it made me feel a bit sad when the Cubs won (I was happy they ended their curse despite the Cubs being a divisional rival) because it overshadowed your win drastically.
I just watched the 2018 World Series film and they said that before Muncy’s walk off homer in the World Series the last walk off homer in the World Series was the Kirk Gibson home run. How do you forget the joe carter home run,Kirby’s home run in game 6,the Scott podsednik home run and etc.
Cubs fan here. It's unfortunate how underappreciated this team is considering how dominant they were that season. Their 4 complete games against the Angels was absolutely ridiculous. You will definitely never see that again!
To Alexis Arandas-The 1956 New York Yankees topped t hat by tossing FIVE consec- utive complete games in the World Series that year again st their crosstown rivals, the Brooklyn Dodgers, including Don Larsen's history making perfect game in Game 5, the only such no hitter in Series history. Roy Halliday no hit t- he Cincinnati Reds in the 20 10 postseason, but his was in the divisional round, not t he World Series.
I'm a Cubs fan, but I honestly am curious as to why so many people forget about 2005. Lots of people argue the media constantly sucks up to the Cubs, which I agree to a certain extent, but the Mets get remembered for 1969 and 1986. The only things I can say why Boston's 2004 championship is remembered better is their 3-0 series comeback against the Yankees and they've been close a lot.
@@jg_2362 I've be- en a.diehard Sox fan since t hey ran away with the AL W est in 1983, only to fall to Ba ltimore in the ALCS (this wa- s before MLB added the extr a rounds).

It’s depressing how White Sox have been so bad lately that they have to call every cubs fan a bandwagon. I was born a Cubs fan in a Cubs fan family. I was 5 when I started watching during 2008. I had my share of 90-100+ seasons. Not as much as my dad who listened to them on the radio every day and tries to watch every game. But I’ve seen the disappointment and I loved them through it. Pisses me off how jealous people are and call “bandwagon” it’s been 3 years, the bandwagons are gone.
@@jordanschwarzlose9218 bro, the bandwagon thing is what Cubs fans usually throw at us every time the Sox happened to be good. However, bandwagoners infest this city's sports scene everytime any team is good, remember the Blackhawks run? You don't see anyhere close to the same amount of hawks hats and jerseys around this city as you used to.
As a diehard Cubs fan, I remember that White Sox team and that season. Regardless of the crosstown rivalry, for all Chicago fans, winning that championship brought so much pride and joy to the city of Chicago. It will never be forgotten.
This 2005 WS Championship brought more joy than you could ever imagine to my soon be 84 years old White Sox fan Father. Excellent video, can't wait to show him.
@J Z. He is ( THANK YOU SO MUCH!!) and baseball didn't come a day too late. The Covid isolation was really getting to him. I told him over the last few years as we were toughing it out with a young Moncada, Anderson, the Yonder Alonso, Melkey Cabrera, Todd Frazier filler seasons, and prospects up the wazoo, that a change was coming.
Thank you sir!!. He's gonna be 89 here soon and though they are a mess lol, we already bought the MLB package to root for them!! I told him winning at least 80 games would be great. fingers crossed.@@robertmasina7388

Something tells me the 2015 Kansas City Royals will suffer a similar fate. A very small market team with virtually no national media coverage. They were considered to be a fluke after losing to the Giants in the previous World Series. We proved the doubters wrong, and flags fly forever!
As a Cardinals fan, I bet if that year's World Series or even the one in '14 would've been an I-70 series, the Royals' squads for those seasons would not ever be forgotten about.
No, I doubt it. That team had memorable players. Had a great rags to riches story with homegrown talent. Went to back to back series. Plus, even though they are a small market, the Royals are historically, more nationally regarded than the White Sox.
They were indeed. Which makes it really sad that they haven't had any real strong years since then. 2008 was passable, they had just barely made it into the post season, and promptly got destroyed by the Rays, and that is pretty much it.
@@KrunchyTheClown78 That 08 team was better than let on. They just hit a bad patch in September and losing Quentin hurt too. Sadly the Rays were just better. Had they played the Angels, they probably would have been in the ALCS
@@jamesrowe8953 Yeah, I remember that now. And then there was the 2012 season when they battled the Tigers for 1st place during most of the season, but we're defeated by the end.
The Sox were also on pace for close 110 wins but the month of August almost saw them lose the race to the Indians. I'll never forget sweeping Cleveland with our backups after we clinched to keep them out of the wild card
Basketball and football. When you look at the demographics of the ESPN broadcasters, it makes perfect sense. Watching ESPN guys trying to talk about hockey is more embarrassing than British commentators trying to *call* a hockey game.
This was the #1 sports event in my lifetime. As a lifelong White Sox fan, the 2005 White Sox Championship felt even better than the 85 Bears. (Close) I'm very grateful that the White Sox were able to win the World Series while my parents were still alive. Hopefully they can win another one before they pass away. Go White Sox !!!
I'm glad a video like this exist. More people need to remember the 2005 Chicago White Sox. Probably the most disrespected underrated champions in sports history. Not just baseball, ALL OF SPORTS. They weren't just some random team that got hot in the playoffs. They had the AL's best record and were 1 game from the leagues best record. This team was a for real. It was crazy how fast this championship team became an after thought. Most people also forget this team was too under a long "curse". FOX and ESPN talked about the Curse of the Bambino and Billy Goat Curse all the time but the Black Sox Curse never got as much publicity. It was probably brought up once during the 2005 World Series. The only reason I can see, despite how good of a team they were, they never had a stand out player that was well known nationally. I don't like that being the reason for why they got forgotten so fast but it's all I can come up with.
I think a lot of it has to do with the cultivation of a narrative. Boston and Chicago writers developed the narratives of thier long suffering fanbases and the national media ate it up. Meanwhile White Sox partisans toil in relative obscurity.
They're not even the least respected White Sox champion team. People remember the 1919 Reds for throwing the Series more than they remember who won it.
Kind of interesting how opposed to the Red Sox and the Cubs curses being about unfortunate circumstances and bad luck, the White Sox curse-breaking was about redemption from the 1919 season and the Black Sox, to finally be clean after all those years.
This was fantastic, it made me convert from Cubs to Sox growing up as a 7 year old in the Chicago suburbs. My parents tried to record game 4 for me but the TiVo stopped in the middle of the 7th :/ great memories of that year though and the first time a team I rooted for won a title.
My mother is a White Sox fan so I followed them off and on (and still do). I'm a Mets fan, but in 2005 I would split my attention between the two teams as they were both in their races. When the Mets' run waned in September, all my afternoon turned to the Sox. One of the most complete teams I have ever seen, rivaling, coincidentally, the 2017 Astros. I'll never forget this team, and I know my mom will never forget either
Great Video!!!! Die hard White Sox fan since I was 8 years old, I’m 44 years old now. I will always cherish the memories of the 2005 Champion Chicago White Sox forever.
- *11-1* - *4 consecutive Shut Outs* - *Scott Had 0 Homeruns All Season. Hit's Walk-Off Homerun In World Series* - *Jermaine Dye get's "hit by pitch" (actually hits barrel of bat) bases loaded. Next batter/pitch to Paul Konerko GRAND SLAM* - *bottom 9th 2 outs AJ strikes out, proceeds by running to first called safe. Next batter game win hit*
I'm a white sox fan but if they weren't in it , I would've rooted for the Astros. Always the underdog .And the Rangers too. Damn, I wanted those early 80 teams to make the World Series .
Thanks for the reminder. Being a Sox fan since 1978 and in a family of Cubs fan, this video brought a tear to my eyes, I sure wish my Uncle Lad was alive when they won it all. Thanks
Great video man thanks for doing this 👍🏻. 2005 was by far the best season of baseball I’ve seen in my lifetime. Our time will come again soon don’t you worry
I think a lot overlook the impact of Joe Crede in the postseason too. I swear I remember him making 10 diving run saving plays along with the clutchest of hits. Should of been MVP imo.
I was at that game. A worked as a guest service rep with a permanent work location overlooking a section behind homeplate. This recap video brought back so many of that season. Thanks!
Not a White Sox fan but loved this team! Konerko is one of my favorite players ever! So underrated and such a good guy. Loved Burehle too. He worked so fast when he pitched. It was a thing of beauty!
I never forgot and never will forget October 26th, 2005. I was so happy I woke up the next day whistling the theme song to Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. Also, only the White Sox and one of the Yankees teams only lost one game during the entire post-season in MLB history. Truly a historic team regardless if the South Side gets props or not.
I believe the Sox and one Yankee team were the only ones to lead the division (or league, in the case of the Yankees) from start to finish then sweep the WS.
Didn't take over 100 years to break a curse, didn't need a game 7 to decide who wins the World Series, always forgotten to the outside, be remembered to who matters and it's Sox fans inside. Thanks for posting this!
Greatest playoff run in baseball history. Memories seared in my brain to this day include El Duque getting out of that bases loaded jam in Boston, A.J.'s dropped 3rd strike play(I was standing in the concourse behind home plate next to Nancy Faust's booth so could see the actual play live and the replays on the TV in Nancy's booth), Konerko's grand slam, Pod's walk-off, Blum's homer in the 14th, Buehrle's save and Uribe's 2 defensive plays to end it all(if Uribe's name was Jeter those plays would be shown yearly on any countdown to the World Series TV show).
Bill Shooter Blums homer was fucking insane. Couldn’t believe it everyone was doing what they had to do regardless of if they could or not. Scott and Blum both hitting homeruns when they basically never did the entire year? And at exactly the right time? Lmao that team was magical holy fuck
If memory serves, didn't Blum get traded or signed by Houston a couple of years later? If that is correct, I can imagine how the fans reacted to that! LOL
I remember watching Ken Burns 10th Inning. It was the last part of a Baseball series. Each episode went over a portion of MLB history. In the 10th Inning he went through 1994-2009. They went extensively over the Red Sox winning the 2004 World Series as well as the 2003 loss to the Yankees. Then they kind of brushed over the fact that the White Sox won the next year and moved on. I couldn't believe it. They overcame a curse too and it was the very next year.
Alex Blocker Astros should’ve stayed in the NL, they have history, not to mention a great rivalry with the Cardinals. Milwaukee should’ve gone back to the AL.
I waited 40 years for a White Sox World Series victory. I feel blessed. There are many Chicago baseball fans that lived their whole lives without seeing a Workd Series Championship.
Yep. I remember reading articles in the Tribune and Sun-Times in the days after this series ended, and I think both of them had articles about how fans were taking Sox souvenirs to the cemeteries in the Chicagoland area and putting them on the tombstones of relatives who were Sox fans and never had the chance to see what happened in 2005. You know, during Game 2, they showed a couple of shots of two older ladies who both had signs saying, "I waited 93 years for this." I remember one of them just being as thrilled as a kid when Konerko hit the grand slam. I wonder how much longer both of them lived after seeing this. It would be interesting, I think...
I wish I was there when the white Sox won the series. My brother told me that he was up till midnight watching the game. Hope we at least do good this season. I think we have a really good team set for the future. As always, LETS GO WHITE SOX!!!
I was at Game 2 when Konerko hit his grand slam and the dude in front of me jumped up and spilled his nachos all over me and my friends.... Totally worth it!
I get that. That postseason was all about the starters, jenks and Orlando hernandez in Boston. But Cliff was a huge part of getting us to the postseason (and he didnt get a mention in the part where he highlighted the bullpen).
I remember watching those games, those guys were really fired up and beating up everybody batting, stealing bases and fielding. The pitching was really good, especially on the ALCS with 4 complete games. José Contreras actually pitched the whole game 5 win and then pitched on game 1 in the WS, amazing considering how little starting pitchers are pitching in postseason now, 4 innings or so; only when they are not allowing hits at all is when they are left loose. Awesome video!!
I've actually got a soft spot for the 2005 White Sox. The final game of that series was the first baseball I'd seen in months following Hurricane Katrina. The bars and restaurants were finally starting to open up. I found myself at some dive in north Gulfport for cheap burgers and beer. It was an amazing night. The White Sox really cheered me up then and I've been quietly cheering for them since.
Thank you for this excellent video. You make clear points, supported by facts, and give overall credit to a team that few want to recognize. The 2005 Chicago White Sox deserve to be remembered and cherished.
Buehrle should be a hall of famer. He was one of a kind. I remember him pitching a shutout with like 80 something pitches and the game took an hour and a half because he worked so fast LOL
I was born and raised a cubs fan; I never understood the hatred Sox fans had for us until a snippet I saw a few years ago. A fan was excited for his morning drive into work so he could listen to sports radio and hear how his team won it all the night before... except they blew past it and focused on how the city would be reacting if the Cubs won. It kinda made me stop and think how shitty that was. This video is the second instance that justifies the bitterness the Sox have for us. If the shoe was on the other foot, I'd absolutely feel the same. It's an injustice really, but I have nothing else really to say other than I finally understand why that hatred exists. Anyways, great video, as per usual.
When I think great teams of recent memory I always bring this team to mind. Their roster felt so complete in a prototypical baseball sense. The prototypical leadoff guy in pods, Igugi I think hit second. An all timer as their clean-up hitter. A starting staff was easily their bread and butter. CG machines. Few solid pen pieces.
You could probably add the 1993 Blue Jays. When the 25th anniversary of Joe Carter's home run to win the World Series came, there was virtually no media mentioning it. Everyone wanted to talk about the 30th anniversary of Kirk Gibson's Game 1 home run in 1988 instead.
I would put the 1992 team. That home run is in many sports montages and is super famous and the team is mentioned a decent amount. Maybe I hear about it more than most bc I am a Phillies fan but still. The 92 team however is almost never brought up at all
I was living in Greece on assignment at the time of the '05 World Series with my Dad, who was a USFS Officer. We're huge Sox fans, and YOU BET we flew out to Chicago from Greece just for the World Series. It was a magical time for me, I was a younger kid back then. Thanks so much for posting.
That was an absolutely incredible team. Part of the reason they might not be remembered is for a slump during the pennant run. They had been on a pace to win well over 100 for most of the season until they had to wake up to hold off the charging Indians, and still ended up winning 99. Right after they won it all in game 4, and just before they went off the air, Peter Gammons was asked how this team compares historically and he said they should be ranked up with the very best. One thing about Chicago teams: when they finally do win championships they don't mess around. Maybe its the pent up frustration of so many losing seasons breaking through.
Even the wonderful documentary "Baseball" totally ignored the 2005 World Series champions. I had been waiting since 1959 for the Sox to win the World Series in to see them do it in such a wonderous totally in control way was worth the wait.
I remember. As a lifelong Sox fan it was something I was afraid I'd never live to see. But I did, and will remember it for the rest of my days. Thanks.
Being the big Wheel of Fortune fan that I am, within weeks of omitting the White Sox from that crossword puzzle, they did make up for it with a puzzle solely dedicated to the White Sox and their fans such as myself. The category was People, and the answer was "Chicago White Sox Fans." Seeing that puzzle put a huge smile on my face, and I even told a fellow online Sox fan about it. The 2005 White Sox truly deserved to win the World Series. Their secrets included having no pressure, not setting too many goals for themselves, and, most importantly, just simply having a good time. Despite baseball being a business, they treated it the way it's supposed to be treated. With all that said, it's a shame to know that the White Sox have not only been forgotten, but they've also been underestimated, underappreciated, and even antagonized, especially when compared to their crosstown rivals.
I still remember that team and I'm not a fan of them. Much of the interest for me was to see if the Astros would win or if the White Sox gets Frank Thomas a WS ring. Can't forget El Duque's ALDS Game 3 heroics. People forget them? Really?
As a huge Sox fan this was thrilling to watch and it is so breathtaking for you to make this video. I hope many watch this and respect the Sox more. Thank you
You know who else has forgotten somebody in the postseason? 2015 Royals. You really need to do postseason highlights about them, seeing as it seems like you’ve just tried to avoid them. So, do them. You have no excuses.
Probably because they were the villain by beating the Mets (and personally the Blue Jays as well). If the Royals won in 14 instead of 15 the tale is much sweeter, but now we have to hear the Giants dynasty BS.
Awesome video. I’ll always remember the obvious disappointment in Chris Berman’s voice when the Red Sox made the final out in the ALDS. I also loved seeing the Red Sox fan in the first row (yellow shirt) stopping mid-clap when he realized El Duque rung up Damon instead of walking him. Thanks for taking the time!

FOX and ESPN talked about the Curse of the Bambino and Billy Goat Curse all the time but the Black Sox Curse never got as much publicity. It was probably brought up once during the 2005 World Series.
The only reason I can see, despite how good of a team they were, they never had a stand out player that was well known nationally. I don't like that being the reason for why they got forgotten so fast but it's all I can come up with.
I think a lot of it has to do with the cultivation of a narrative. Boston and Chicago writers developed the narratives of thier long suffering fanbases and the national media ate it up. Meanwhile White Sox partisans toil in relative obscurity.
They're not even the least respected White Sox champion team. People remember the 1919 Reds for throwing the Series more than they remember who won it.
Kind of interesting how opposed to the Red Sox and the Cubs curses being about unfortunate circumstances and bad luck, the White Sox curse-breaking was about redemption from the 1919 season and the Black Sox, to finally be clean after all those years.
This was fantastic, it made me convert from Cubs to Sox growing up as a 7 year old in the Chicago suburbs. My parents tried to record game 4 for me but the TiVo stopped in the middle of the 7th :/ great memories of that year though and the first time a team I rooted for won a title.
My mother is a White Sox fan so I followed them off and on (and still do). I'm a Mets fan, but in 2005 I would split my attention between the two teams as they were both in their races. When the Mets' run waned in September, all my afternoon turned to the Sox. One of the most complete teams I have ever seen, rivaling, coincidentally, the 2017 Astros. I'll never forget this team, and I know my mom will never forget either
Great Video!!!! Die hard White Sox fan since I was 8 years old, I’m 44 years old now. I will always cherish the memories of the 2005 Champion Chicago White Sox forever.
- *11-1*
- *4 consecutive Shut Outs*
- *Scott Had 0 Homeruns All Season. Hit's Walk-Off Homerun In World Series*
- *Jermaine Dye get's "hit by pitch" (actually hits barrel of bat) bases loaded. Next batter/pitch to Paul Konerko GRAND SLAM*
- *bottom 9th 2 outs AJ strikes out, proceeds by running to first called safe. Next batter game win hit*
Check yr facts ,, u got 3 things incorrect goofball
4 consecutive complete games, not shut outs
I’m an Astros fan and boy I didn’t forget the White Sox were the Champions.
Marty Coleman me too!
Ya how can you
(...sorry)
As an Astros fan Same the pain we would have 2 World Series titles
I'm a white sox fan but if they weren't in it , I would've rooted for the Astros. Always the underdog .And the Rangers too. Damn, I wanted those early 80 teams to make the World Series .
Thanks for the reminder. Being a Sox fan since 1978 and in a family of Cubs fan, this video brought a tear to my eyes, I sure wish my Uncle Lad was alive when they won it all. Thanks
Very well made video. It's a shame how this team is forgotten.
Go White Sox! I love the 2005 team
Gretzky 66 I love Sox but not Gretzky lol go hawks
@@hockeyx8842 Go Sox go Hawks! Rough year for the Hawks though
Forgotten team? I 100% remember this team.
It’s best that I don’t remember
Same fam same... at least we got one unlike the rangers lol
Ricky Patrick who had 3 years in a row to get it done too!
As a White Sox fan, I greatly appreciate this video!!! Thank you! ⚾️⚾️⚾️
Great video man thanks for doing this 👍🏻. 2005 was by far the best season of baseball I’ve seen in my lifetime. Our time will come again soon don’t you worry
This was the team that got me into baseball. Joe Crede will always be my first and foremost favorite baseball player
This 05 team was Spectacular all around, very exciting to watch & the WS was a Amazing Testament of the talent the Sox had.
I never forgot about them. This was one solid team. After they beat my team in the Division Series, I knew they would win it all.
I think a lot overlook the impact of Joe Crede in the postseason too. I swear I remember him making 10 diving run saving plays along with the clutchest of hits. Should of been MVP imo.
The middle infield was remarkable, but the defense of Joe Crede was one of a kind
Crede was a monster. Shamefully underrated.
My man, thanks for posting this!
Astros fan here.....I try to forget, but the memory is permanently etched into my brain. Glad we finally got ours....
jon c sucks how close every game was and yet our team couldn’t walk away with at least 1 win :/
jon c well look how even ‘17 got tarnished. Ouch
I, as a White Sox fan, say give credit where due for the Astros getting to the World Series.
Really sucks that so much of the sports world forgets about this team. Really neat idea for a video, great job!
I was at that game. A worked as a guest service rep with a permanent work location overlooking a section behind homeplate. This recap video brought back so many of that season. Thanks!
Not a White Sox fan but loved this team! Konerko is one of my favorite players ever! So underrated and such a good guy. Loved Burehle too. He worked so fast when he pitched. It was a thing of beauty!
Burehle was ridiculous on the mound, batters couldn't keep up with him.
I never forgot and never will forget October 26th, 2005. I was so happy I woke up the next day whistling the theme song to Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.
Also, only the White Sox and one of the Yankees teams only lost one game during the entire post-season in MLB history.
Truly a historic team regardless if the South Side gets props or not.
I believe the Sox and one Yankee team were the only ones to lead the division (or league, in the case of the Yankees) from start to finish then sweep the WS.
As a White Sox fan I appreciate this so much. Thank you for this.
Still get goosebumps every single time.. thank you for posting this!
Don’t worry ‘05 White Sox I never forgot abt u and none of us ever will. Y’all have success in the near future too mark my words
Bleeding Blue this year they are doing great
Didn't take over 100 years to break a curse, didn't need a game 7 to decide who wins the World Series, always forgotten to the outside, be remembered to who matters and it's Sox fans inside. Thanks for posting this!
Greatest playoff run in baseball history. Memories seared in my brain to this day include El Duque getting out of that bases loaded jam in Boston, A.J.'s dropped 3rd strike play(I was standing in the concourse behind home plate next to Nancy Faust's booth so could see the actual play live and the replays on the TV in Nancy's booth), Konerko's grand slam, Pod's walk-off, Blum's homer in the 14th, Buehrle's save and Uribe's 2 defensive plays to end it all(if Uribe's name was Jeter those plays would be shown yearly on any countdown to the World Series TV show).
Bill Shooter Blums homer was fucking insane. Couldn’t believe it everyone was doing what they had to do regardless of if they could or not. Scott and Blum both hitting homeruns when they basically never did the entire year? And at exactly the right time? Lmao that team was magical holy fuck
Great video! Sox will do it again in ‘21!
Closest sweep in sports history. As a lifelong 'Stros fan i'll never forget that Blum home rum (former Astro) nor the rest of the '05 White Sox squad.
If memory serves, didn't Blum get traded or signed by Houston a couple of years later? If that is correct, I can imagine how the fans reacted to that! LOL
I remember watching Ken Burns 10th Inning. It was the last part of a Baseball series. Each episode went over a portion of MLB history. In the 10th Inning he went through 1994-2009. They went extensively over the Red Sox winning the 2004 World Series as well as the 2003 loss to the Yankees. Then they kind of brushed over the fact that the White Sox won the next year and moved on. I couldn't believe it. They overcame a curse too and it was the very next year.
Im an astros fan thats why i want to forget getting swept
they made up for it in 2017
moving to the al was a great decision by them
As a sox fan, I was so happy you guys got one finally.
Alex Blocker Astros should’ve stayed in the NL, they have history, not to mention a great rivalry with the Cardinals. Milwaukee should’ve gone back to the AL.
@@savagedick3848 Even better, the Astros moving to the NL West and either the Rockies or D'Backs moving to the AL.
this video gave me the chills. well done 👍
I waited 40 years for a White Sox World Series victory. I feel blessed. There are many Chicago baseball fans that lived their whole lives without seeing a Workd Series Championship.
Yep. I remember reading articles in the Tribune and Sun-Times in the days after this series ended, and I think both of them had articles about how fans were taking Sox souvenirs to the cemeteries in the Chicagoland area and putting them on the tombstones of relatives who were Sox fans and never had the chance to see what happened in 2005.
You know, during Game 2, they showed a couple of shots of two older ladies who both had signs saying, "I waited 93 years for this." I remember one of them just being as thrilled as a kid when Konerko hit the grand slam. I wonder how much longer both of them lived after seeing this. It would be interesting, I think...
@@lonniecraig5186 93? The White Sox won 1959's World Series. They said it was the first title in 46 years at the time.
I wish I was there when the white Sox won the series. My brother told me that he was up till midnight watching the game. Hope we at least do good this season. I think we have a really good team set for the future.
As always, LETS GO WHITE SOX!!!
I’ve saw ten years of Bulls which was an amazing experience, Blackhawks run, incredible, 2005 White Sox was Magic! Now we’re gonna do it again!!!!
I was at Game 2 when Konerko hit his grand slam and the dude in front of me jumped up and spilled his nachos all over me and my friends....
Totally worth it!
Gotta watch the dvd now!! So many good memories!!
Thank you this made me cry!
Crazy. I watched the White Sox season on WGN every time I was at my grandmothers house in 2005, so like 3-4 days a week.
Lets not forget Cliff Polite. He had a hell of year out of the pen for the Sox
Everyone forgets about Cliff Mr. 8th. inning he was the man
Michael Graveline When your bullpen pitches 2/3 of an inning in a postseason series, it happens.😅
I get that. That postseason was all about the starters, jenks and Orlando hernandez in Boston. But Cliff was a huge part of getting us to the postseason (and he didnt get a mention in the part where he highlighted the bullpen).
Dasmo Marte had himself a pretty good year too. Loved that team from top to bottom.
...and Dustin Hermanson....we actually had 3 closers for 2005 starting with shingo tekatsu
I remember watching those games, those guys were really fired up and beating up everybody batting, stealing bases and fielding. The pitching was really good, especially on the ALCS with 4 complete games. José Contreras actually pitched the whole game 5 win and then pitched on game 1 in the WS, amazing considering how little starting pitchers are pitching in postseason now, 4 innings or so; only when they are not allowing hits at all is when they are left loose. Awesome video!!
Thank you finally someone made a video it sucks that they aren’t recognized like they should ❤️
White Sox 05 World Series champion were dominant I'll never forget that they are the best pitching staff in major league history
I am teary eyed. Thank you for remembering.
South Side or Die
Cubs Suck
I've actually got a soft spot for the 2005 White Sox. The final game of that series was the first baseball I'd seen in months following Hurricane Katrina. The bars and restaurants were finally starting to open up. I found myself at some dive in north Gulfport for cheap burgers and beer. It was an amazing night. The White Sox really cheered me up then and I've been quietly cheering for them since.
Dope video about one of the greatest teams of all time
Thank you for this excellent video. You make clear points, supported by facts, and give overall credit to a team that few want to recognize. The 2005 Chicago White Sox deserve to be remembered and cherished.
Awesome vid bro make more of these bro 💪👊👊💪
This was so great, thank you!
Im thinking bout this day all the time!!
They may be one of the only WS Champs without a Hall of Famer on its roster. They're reminiscent of the 2004 Detroit Pistons in that respect.
I know Frank Thomas is in the HOF, but only played 34 games that year and none in the playoffs.
dalyna24 what about paulie
Paul Konerko isn't in the HOF
Buehrle should be a hall of famer. He was one of a kind. I remember him pitching a shutout with like 80 something pitches and the game took an hour and a half because he worked so fast LOL
THE MILWAUKEE BREWERS WILL NEVER WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP not to mention his no hitters and perfect game. White Sox GOAT
I was born and raised a cubs fan; I never understood the hatred Sox fans had for us until a snippet I saw a few years ago. A fan was excited for his morning drive into work so he could listen to sports radio and hear how his team won it all the night before... except they blew past it and focused on how the city would be reacting if the Cubs won. It kinda made me stop and think how shitty that was.
This video is the second instance that justifies the bitterness the Sox have for us. If the shoe was on the other foot, I'd absolutely feel the same. It's an injustice really, but I have nothing else really to say other than I finally understand why that hatred exists. Anyways, great video, as per usual.
Everyone always remembers
I grew up in Chicago a White Sox fan. I haven’t and will never forget this team. Thank you for posting this.
I don't cry often, but damn was that beautiful.
I'll never forget this. This video made me smile. Game 1 was 1 day after my 21st birthday. Best gift ever. I'll never forget it!
Instantly liked
When I think great teams of recent memory I always bring this team to mind. Their roster felt so complete in a prototypical baseball sense. The prototypical leadoff guy in pods, Igugi I think hit second. An all timer as their clean-up hitter. A starting staff was easily their bread and butter. CG machines. Few solid pen pieces.
You could probably add the 1993 Blue Jays. When the 25th anniversary of Joe Carter's home run to win the World Series came, there was virtually no media mentioning it. Everyone wanted to talk about the 30th anniversary of Kirk Gibson's Game 1 home run in 1988 instead.
I would put the 1992 team. That home run is in many sports montages and is super famous and the team is mentioned a decent amount. Maybe I hear about it more than most bc I am a Phillies fan but still. The 92 team however is almost never brought up at all
Yea i agree with the guy above me. The 1992 team is completely forgotten about by most.
Novaura Autism never forgot I'm a white sox fan. And I freaking hated the strike the next year sox ,would of won the WS in 94 !
I remember the 93 Jays. They beat the White Sox for the pennent. Darrin Jackson was on that Blue Jay team.
@@death_stalker No they wouldn't of. They would have been downed by the Twins that year.
I was living in Greece on assignment at the time of the '05 World Series with my Dad, who was a USFS Officer. We're huge Sox fans, and YOU BET we flew out to Chicago from Greece just for the World Series. It was a magical time for me, I was a younger kid back then. Thanks so much for posting.
As a Reds fan, I didn't forget about the White Sox. An excuse to not give the Cubs credit? YES PLEASE!
Nash wayz hell yes fuck the cubs
That was an absolutely incredible team. Part of the reason they might not be remembered is for a slump during the pennant run. They had been on a pace to win well over 100 for most of the season until they had to wake up to hold off the charging Indians, and still ended up winning 99. Right after they won it all in game 4, and just before they went off the air, Peter Gammons was asked how this team compares historically and he said they should be ranked up with the very best. One thing about Chicago teams: when they finally do win championships they don't mess around. Maybe its the pent up frustration of so many losing seasons breaking through.
Thank for the respect! Southside boogie!
Born and raised White Sox fan. I was 6 years old when they won, I was so happy! Thanks for uploading this!
Love my Sox!
Even the wonderful documentary "Baseball" totally ignored the 2005 World Series champions. I had been waiting since 1959 for the Sox to win the World Series in to see them do it in such a wonderous totally in control way was worth the wait.
Really good. More of these.
I remember. As a lifelong Sox fan it was something I was afraid I'd never live to see. But I did, and will remember it for the rest of my days.
Thanks.
Astros fans and white Soxs fans are the only ones to remember this
Started to cry during this & phenomenal job editing & narrated it.. thank you for all of white Sox nation 👏🏼
One of my friends is the daughter of Geoff Blum who played for the 2005 white sox
Geoff definitely ended up playing a big part and being an unsung hero.
Being the big Wheel of Fortune fan that I am, within weeks of omitting the White Sox from that crossword puzzle, they did make up for it with a puzzle solely dedicated to the White Sox and their fans such as myself. The category was People, and the answer was "Chicago White Sox Fans." Seeing that puzzle put a huge smile on my face, and I even told a fellow online Sox fan about it.
The 2005 White Sox truly deserved to win the World Series. Their secrets included having no pressure, not setting too many goals for themselves, and, most importantly, just simply having a good time. Despite baseball being a business, they treated it the way it's supposed to be treated.
With all that said, it's a shame to know that the White Sox have not only been forgotten, but they've also been underestimated, underappreciated, and even antagonized, especially when compared to their crosstown rivals.
I'm a Cubs fan and all I say is shhhhh don't let them remember
great video! i'd love to see more videos like this from you man!
I still remember that team and I'm not a fan of them. Much of the interest for me was to see if the Astros would win or if the White Sox gets Frank Thomas a WS ring.
Can't forget El Duque's ALDS Game 3 heroics.
People forget them? Really?
Watching this in 2024...I thank you as Sox fan!
Amen Brother! I BLEED Black!
They are the greatest single postseason team of all time! Going 11-1 and having 4 consecutive complete games in the ALCS will never be beat.
aka Baseballs forgotten team
As a huge Sox fan this was thrilling to watch and it is so breathtaking for you to make this video. I hope many watch this and respect the Sox more. Thank you
As a cubs fan I like that that Sox are forgotten but as a baseball fan it’s like come on they are a baseball too why can’t they remembered
The 2005 white sox would destroy the 2016 cubs
@@Warwolf-be4rz that's debatable
white sox had better pitching but the cubs had better hitting
@@alexblocker3395 how do you figure better hitting, konerko, dye, posednick, crede, prysynski, and if your counting the actual team thomas
@@Warwolf-be4rz In my opinion, Rizzo, Schwarber, Baez, Fowler, Heyward, and Russell was a better combination

October 26, 2005 was the greatest day off my life. Thank you for making this!
You know who else has forgotten somebody in the postseason? 2015 Royals. You really need to do postseason highlights about them, seeing as it seems like you’ve just tried to avoid them. So, do them. You have no excuses.
Probably because they were the villain by beating the Mets (and personally the Blue Jays as well).
If the Royals won in 14 instead of 15 the tale is much sweeter, but now we have to hear the Giants dynasty BS.
We were not because we had an epic comeback in the ALDS, and deserved a World Series win.
As a Mets fan, there is no way I could ever forget about them. If I ever can choke back my tears I'll definitely do a video on them.
EXE-Edits Thanks!!!! I have never seen highlights on them because of the way they forgot them after the 2014 World Series lost.
Awesome video. I’ll always remember the obvious disappointment in Chris Berman’s voice when the Red Sox made the final out in the ALDS. I also loved seeing the Red Sox fan in the first row (yellow shirt) stopping mid-clap when he realized El Duque rung up Damon instead of walking him. Thanks for taking the time!
