History

Historical Context

Chicago’s 1906 White Sox captured their first World Series, beating the Cubs 4-2 after a 19-game winning streak that lifted them to a 93-win season despite a league-worst .230 batting average. Dubbed the “Hitless Wonders,” that triumph set a lasting benchmark for the South Siders, a reference point for any effort to recapture comparable offensive power today.
