The White Sox defeated the Houston Astros in a four-game sweep on Oct. 26, 2005. It was the team's first World Series win since 1917.
Jermaine Dye singled home the only run in the eighth and the White Sox took the title with a 1-0 win. Chicago's sweep, its eighth straight postseason win and 16th in 17 games overall, made the White Sox the second team to go through the postseason 11-1 since the extra round of playoffs was added in 1995, joining the 1999 Yankees.

The White Sox have shown some serious class in the last week. Although they're rivals, the team sent well wishes to the Cubs during Game 1 of this year's World Series.
The sign outside U.S. Cellular Field read, "Congratulations National League champions, from the Chicago White Sox."
