The 2005 Chicago White Sox had an unbelievable 2005 season, but are often looked over in the grand scheme of baseball history. Not only have they been forgotten by the media on several occasions since their historic run, but they are generally underappreciated by baseball fans. In this video, Matt goes through their 2005 campaign as a means of reliving, remembering, and appreciating their great season.

Best video you guys have made hands down
came here to say this
@@Blankford777 I experienced it as a White Sox fan and forgot so many key moments that literally had me balling. The biggest moment, to me, was when Hernandez came in with the bases loaded and no outs, and gave up no runs..
Anyways, I haven't cried/teared up like this since watching some of those well made ESPN docs for make a wish and heroic people.
Hope this is mainly not White Sox fans that see this too. The team is forgotten, but I just now realized how incredible the run was, and what we actually accomplished(yes we, lol).
Thank you for this.
Sincerely.. Vaughn, My Baby Brother Brett, and MY 2 Most beloved Cousins Kyle & Kenny
Agreed 💯
@@mikeydoes I was 7 at the time and still am amazed by the lack of coverage for this team. So many good players and (minus jenks) seemingly clean power hitting players in the heart of the steroid era
You have no idea as a white sox fan how good this feels to finally see the White Sox get some recognition
I do. Die hard white sox fan here.
Harold Baines! XD
@@revalesq watched him and coach for my Sox. He autographed one of my baseball cards as a kid.
@HaRdWorK&DeDicAtiOn! And to the only Cub fan to be seen on a Sox Tribute video. It really was a great series in 16. Yeah it took extra innings but finally the crying on the north side stopped. I said the same to my friends and family who are Cubbies. It was a south side die hard way of saying, a job well done in 16.
@HaRdWorK&DeDicAtiOn! Lets go back even further. Grace Sandburg vs Thigpen and Blackjack. And Sosa wearing the Black Before the red white and blie
“Baseball is a team sport, but unlike other team sports, one man can’t carry a team to a long postseason run”
Truer words have never been spoken
Which is why it drives me up the wall whenever somebody includes championships among a player's accolades. No, Jimbo, Johnnie Doe didn't win those World Series; his team did.
2014 Madison Bumgarner begs to differ.
Alex Wei every single one of the giants hitters has an ops+ over 100 and mad bum only had an era+ of 116
G EJ That’s true, the Giants that year weren’t the best team during the regular season, Bumgarner included (the stats that you mentioned were regular season stats). However, Bumgarner had a 1.03 ERA during that postseason, and won NLCS and WS MVP. I was responding to your quote that one man can’t carry a team to a long postseason run. You probably meant that not one player could single-handedly carry a team through a regular season and help them make the playoffs, and I agree with that. But once in the playoffs, one player could relatively make a large enough impact for his team to make a deep playoff run, due to the smaller number of games played during the postseason.
Alex Wei o that’s true
Another amazing fact about this team is that for the first 34 games hall of famer Frank Thomas hit 12 home runs and had 26 RBIs before he went down with an injury. Just imagine if he had played that whole season.
He actually contributed a lot to their division championship - they probably wouldn't have won the most games in the American League without his contribution in those 34 games. 12 home runs in 34 games is pretty good.
The big hurt
@Ernst Starkhört Actually, he did get the ring.... and trust me, I did not forget
I like to think it was part of the journey and if he was healthy he would’ve probably messed up the balance of the championship season. Just my opinion. It was surreal to see them win it with Big Hurt in the dugout.
Good point. I looked at the team's record that year with and without Frank in the game. The team actually was slightly better WITH Frank. Decimal points better. So, had he played more, it seems it would not have hurt their performance. 99 wins always speaks for itself, but it is possible that 100 or a bit more was possible. And 11-1 in the playoffs - you can't knock that, either - only the 2nd time (and last time so far) it's ever been done!
As a White Sox fan, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for this.
Ozzie Guillen had the coolest mop in baseball!!!
This failed to mention that Scott Podsednik did not hit any home runs during the regular season
He sure did
@@ethan3949 not in 2005
No I'm Dirty Dan I meant he sure did forget to mention it
Butt fart Stew gg
And he hit TWO in the postseason
I’m a lifelong white sox fan. Gotta say man this video brought tears to my eyes at the end. Thank you for letting me relive the greatest team us sox fans have ever seen.
Means a lot that a CZcams video of ours can make you feel those kinds of emotions. Thank you for watching!
Me too dawg
Well said. I was glued to the TV every second of that postseason. By the all star break you just had a feeling it was our year. Long live Wheels Konerko
@@StarkRavingSports I live on the South Side of Chicago. Thank you so much dude. It's been years since I've shed a tear, at least it was of joy lol
If you're ever in Chicago, first rounds on me and let's talk Baseball ⚾
As a dodger fan i wish ur team future success u deserve a world series championship
Being a White Sox fan it honestly is the worst feeling getting forgotten about by everyone. That '05 season and postseason was as dominant as any team could be and seeing the whole country brush us off constantly is infuriating. Thank you for this wonderful video guys, probably the best video to showcase this unbelievable team and finally giving them the respect they deserve.
Thank you so much for doing this. Being a White Sox fan usually sucks so bad, and the lack of recognition for their greatest accomplishment just deepens those wounds exponentially. This video legit gave me goosebumps and it gladdens me to know that they aren't going to be completely lost in the annals of time.
Being a Mets fan is usually pretty bad too. I’m just glad the Mets are doing good. Best of luck to the Sox, they could use it right now.
Mark Buehrle and Paul Konerko probably wont make the hall of fame, because of it

This team is probably the most forgotten World Series champions ever
Sportsgaming22 Rocks nah, some of the ones in the early years aren’t really remembered. The 1925 Pirates, 1933 Giants, etc etc
What about the 2015 royals?
@@watericesalt6499 No that's still remembered.
The years between the Red Sox ws wins are almost like “lost years”
Jason Jason yeah. No one really remembers about the 2006 cards either.
"I've got to tell you, all year, we had to listen to people out there who told us we didn't have the team to do this. We were in first place at the break, and people didn't want to believe. We win the division, and people say we're gonna get beat by the Red Sox - didn't happen. We go to Anaheim, we've got to hear about umpires' calls. We go to the World Series, and now we've got to hear about domes and all kinds of stuff. I was trying to think in my mind what would make people think we're a good team." - Paul Konerko
Don't know where you got the quote but I appreciate it, and Paulie was right about that perception. We were always 2nd place in that Division, first to Thome & ManRam's Indians and then to Santana & Mauer's Twins. Kenny Williams would trade the whole farm system if he thought he could get a few proven vets, and a lot of people thought that was an unreliable strategy. But most of all, as you and I know, the White Sox are an invisible franchise, based in an equally invisible blue collar neighborhood in a city that might not be big enough for two MLB teams.
@@bordaz1 when I was 15 I heard Paulie say it live in an interview and could never find the whole quote. Then, Ron Rapoport was nice enough to write a book containing the quote. It's called "A Century of Chicago's Best Sports Writing"
A hater will always find a pretext for their hate.

Being a Mets & White Sox fan results in watching many painful seasons, but this was not one of them. Great video!
9 rows up 3rd base side game 2. A life long Southsider and a fans dream come true. Born a die hard. Will die the same. Good Guys Wear Black.
Mets should have won the World Series the following season in 2006! I thought they would after Endy Chavez made "the catch" against St. Louis in Game 7 of the NLCS. Mets had the best record in baseball that year. They had no business losing to that crappy Cardinals team. But hey, that's baseball I guess. Losing Sanchez hurt BIG TIME. Mota was a bum.
Mets and White Sox fans will always be cool with each other. We both understand what it’s like to be the second most popular team in a big city while having to constantly watch our rivals get recognized over us for everything.
@@drewg4611 Mets situation is a little different though. You can easily make an argument New York is more of an NL town than an AL one. Mets fans are everywhere in this city despite them being a consistently losing team. The Yankees get more attention because they win a lot more (better management). In Chicago, White Sox fans are pretty much limited to the South Side though. Correct me if I'm wrong on this!
Brian Leetch the mets aren’t even poorly run, though. They generally make a playoff push once every few years and jut recently competed for a WS a few years back. Their problems come down to bad in game management and poor luck. I think their ownership and general management is fantastic.
ws game 2. was there. wildest crowd I'd ever been a part of. old men in the bleachers jumping up and down. it was like everyone there won the lottery all at once when PK hit that slam.
I remember watching the games and espn kept having to lower the volume because it was so damn loud.. My brother was at game 2 of the ALDS and he said that Cominsky Park was waving like being on a boat when Crede hit that game winner, and yes Game 2 of the WS was the wildest I ever heard a stadium.
Will never forget the 05 Sox, one of my best childhood memories. 2020 Sox got a lot of promise, excited for the future !
To solve the right field issue, I would love to see Puig on a prove it contract.
They didn't in 2021
This comment aged poorly. RIP 2022 Sox.
….and the 2023 Sox most likely
damn did this unfortunately aged like milk
It’s sad how this team gets forgotten bc it’s one of the greatest of all-time. They went 110-64 including the postseason that saw them sweep the defending champions on the way to winning it all. I saw a comment a while back that said the 2016 cubs would destroy the 2005 white sox and it just made me smh.
Yeah im a big sox fan. And my ignorant cub friends tick me off
The sox also lost once the entire playoff
john cunningham ikr and the cubs went 11-6 in the 2016 postseason
Well, the 2016 Cubs would have beaten the 2005 White Sox
Firelord5620 maybe they would maybe they wouldn’t. We’ll never know.
Seeing this video made by someone who's not a White Sox meant a lot to me. Thank you.
“Heading into 2020, the future of the Chicago white socks looks brighter than ever”
Shows clips of them down 13-2, 1-0, and 10-0.
Lmao they're overrated as always who cares
13-2 and 10-0 was the same game and the 1-0 we ended up winning that game
@@Brandon-qd2lb your just a salty ass cubs fan
Brandon this comment aged well
The Sox are underrated lmao
Never forget the 2005 Chicago White Sox! Thank you for this! Glad this team is getting the recognition it deserves since everyone else seems to forget about them. 🙌🏼⚾️
Love that you’re talking about the 05 sox. Everyone other than Sox fans have forgotten about this amazing team.
Also, just for the record Scott Podsednik hit a walk off home run in the World Series after hitting ZERO home runs in the regular season
I watched the last game of this series at the Hooters on Hwy 49 in Gulfport MS. It was the first time life felt normal after Hurricane Katrina. To this day, I have a soft spot for this particular squad and still secretly cheer for the franchise. Thank you for talking about this fantastic team and series.
You must be a Cubs Fan if you have to Cheer in Secret. it's cool, just keep your Politics on the North Side.
@spooky For somebody that lives in the south, thank you for your input from a Chicago area resident.
that team was a juggernaut..that pitching staff was insane.....the offense always came up with the timely hit....
Never seen or heard of a team being this clutch. Will Never be forgotten.
The 2012 SF Giants were pretty damn clutch, too!!
I remember Ozzie Gullien saying after they won the World Series is that all Chicago cares about were the Cubs.
He's mostly right
Scott C Wow!
@@jmsg_PR yeah the Cubs is very overrated
Keyshawn Scott 12 wtf?
@@ethan3949 just saying
Keyshawn Scott 12 in 2016 they weren’t lol.
I’ve always thought the 2005 White Sox were underrated. They were kind of overshadowed since the Red Sox broke the curse the year before.
Jon Snow nobody mentioned the Yankees
@Jon Snow I seriously doubt that
They swept the defending champs and celebrated by pounding beer at Fenway. The '05 White Sox were absolute gangsters. They lost 1 game all Postseason, the first ALCS game against the Angels. There hasn't been a more dominant Postseason team since. And the truth is that they were that dominant for almost the entire regular season, as well. The only reason it didn't quite seem that way is that they fell into a slump during the last month of the season before getting back on track right before the season ended. They mashed everyone. I truly have not seen that much of a disparity between the best team in baseball and everyone else since the Yankees teams of the late 90's.
@@Gestr3482 yeah that White Sox team in 05 was scary as shit total badass group of players.
I enjoyed the asskicking the white Sox gave the Red Sox in 2005
I got chills watching this video. Was in the military (Italy) and watched every postseason game in the wee hours of the morning. The greatest feelings I have ever had watching baseball.
Wow, as a kid who admired Frank Thomas, but grew up in Boston and kind of bailed on the White Sox when 2004 happened, and was so upset about FT not playing in the 2005 postseason when they FINALLY made it after waiting my entire kid life to see him in the world series... this is the video I didn't know I needed to see. Thank you for making this.
I'm a lifelong Red Sox fan who remembers 2005 well and I've been waiting for someone to show how goddamn impressive the White Sox were that year. Great vid!
Same! I remember being absolutely blown away by the white sox in 2005. I even rooted for them after they knocked the red sox out.
More memorable for White Sox fans.
@adam. From the prior year, there was a side of me where in which I was glad the Curse of Bambino was broken knowing the Yankees have won so many WS championships.
Mark Buehrle is actually from my hometown, it was so cool to see him on the mound in those games! I actually never heard about him and the beers before, which is hilarious!
Wait till you find out about his perfect game and the things that happened going into it.
@@ghostnight845 wait what happened that day?
Mark was the fucking man
Only thing I hated about Buehrle.... I lived in Phoenix at the time.... would wake up 2 hours after the game started.... and could not find the game on the TV..... Well that is Buehrle threw a shutout and the game only lasted about an hour and forty minutes.... can you imagine that nowadays..... GREAT FRICKEN VIDEO.....
As an Astros fan who was crushed by the 2005 season, this actually brought me some solace. What an incredible run by the Sox in 2005. Great video
Same here. But looking back, I think it was better for baseball that the White Sox won. And now look at us Astros fans; we’ve been spoiled rotten!
@@Gemnist98 Loved seeing the Sox Sweep the Astros and Killer B's. but, i watched the Astros win their 1st World Series the week i had surgery for a detached retina. What a Great Series. i couldn't lift my head upright for 6 weeks and had to constantly look at the floor so my retina would reattach correctly, so I had to watch ALL the games with a little flat panel on the floor and had to sit in my chair backwards with my chin on the backrest looking down. It was worth it to see the Astros win and Fans go Crazy and Pound their chests. As a Bears, Bulls and White Sox Fan, you learn to root for Underdogs or Teams without Rings.
You guys had the kind of season that year us sox fans want to have. The 15-30 start to NL champs. That's what the Sox would like to do this year
@Ryan As a White Sox fan, I will say the Astros were deserving of a World Series appearance, its first since the franchise's founding.
Great Video!
Lots of role players get overlooked even within this team. Cliff Politte and Neal Cotts both pitched out of their damn minds all year long from the bullpen.
And the infield defense with Crede, Uribe, and Iguchi was absolutely stellar. Uribe’s foul pop out falling into the stands in the 9th in Game 4 was a huge out.
Underrated comment, those 2 pitchers played insaneeee
Thank you man this just gave me chills, my pops knows Cotts so as a lil kid I was always in the locker room with the boys, so seeing his name just gave me chills. Thank you
Marte was the worst
I cannot even describe how happy I was to see a video made about the 2005 White Sox. I've been a fan forever, and the love they are starting to get from the baseball community is really exciting for us Sox fans.

But this is THE BEST baseball video I have ever watched. Sheesh
Watching this as a White Sox fan is amazing. It’s so cool to finally get some recognition :’)
I'm not a Sox fan but I was living in Chicago at the time, and this team was such a treat to watch. Also, I picked them to win it all in February of that year, so this team made me look like a genius 😆
@@Gestr3482 Liar
@@BaseballPlayer0 nope. I've missed a lot, but I nailed that one. SI picked them to finish 4th in the division that year.
@@Gestr3482 I predicted that Leicester would win th EPL in 2016. I also predicted every President since Reagan. See how easy that is. You lie
@@BaseballPlayer0 why's it so hard for you to believe? What would I gain from lying? A youtube following? I'm pretty damn far from that. I lived in Chicago then, saw them get closer and closer to being a very good team, and liked the way they were assembling their roster. I felt they were built to win, and didn't see anyone in the league beating them.
That was fun to relive for a moment- I’ve been a Bulls/Bears/Sox/Blackhawks fan my entire life; watching the ‘85 Super Bowl was awesome, and the decade that Mike and the Bulls terrorized the NBA in the ‘90s was indescribable, the 3 Stanley Cups were amazing, but 2005, I just, you know, I don’t have the words.
I cried like a child that night, and watched and/or attended every single game that year. I’m so happy they took Frank along for the ride, he definitely deserved it- there was just something so magical and beautiful about the entire season. Wire-to-wire leading the division, ‘small ball’, outstanding pitching that just meshed for an entire season, everyone played their part and did it well, and a bunch of guys most people had never heard of turned a single season into one I’ll never forget.
Thank you for this amazing video that made me want to pull out my post season DVD box set and watch it again.
Bro u not a real Sox fan if u don’t own the ‘05 DVD set 😂😂 I remember watching that shit on my PS2 as a kid
You didn't mention the Sox losing Thomas early in the season to injury and acquiring Carl Everett.
didn't mention the indians creeping back to ....I think 1.5 games behind the sox after being back like 16 games or something, then the sox started winning again to build that buffer between them and the tribe, started with joe crede hitting that walkoff vs cleveland
Thank you for this present. I recently lost my dad and your video allowed me to relive that magical time we spent watching our White Sox win the World Series. Thanks
We’re sorry for your loss, and we’re happy this could provide even the slightest of happiness. Thank you for watching
My condolences as well..... I definitely wept a little when the Sox won that night, thinking of all my family members who never got to see a World Series winner in Chicago. It's wonderful you had that memory and were able to celebrate together! :)
This was the quickest 30 minute watch in my life. And that’s a good thing. I’m a Chicago born huge Sox fan and unfortunately I was only about 8 when the Sox had this magical year. Seeing it broken down so beautifully, gave me legitimate goosebumps and a lump in my throat. Hats off to you guys for easily the best video you’ve ever released, and now my favorite video on CZcams.
I am not a huge baseball guy but have been a yankees fan my whole life from louisiana lol. I'd never even heard of this team. Incredible story.
@@almostkinda wow honestly this is awesome to hear!!
I'm a Cubs fan yet I cannot thank you enough for this video. This Sox team was outstanding and their postseason run was simply magical. I hope this video helps them get their due.
That team was so odd. I remember that year and I remember thinking “where the hell did the white Sox come from?” But like this video said, this team was just dominating everyone. Very well put together roster. Great video.
That team was just clutch. Imagine changing your closer to an unproven Jenks before the playoffs just crazy.
Most underrated point
Here comes the BOOM
I didn’t even realize it was 30 minutes
Passed by so fast it felt like 10
bro same
Max Power hater alert
I feel so nostalgic watching this video! THANK YOU SO MUCH for this wonderful memory. Something no one talks about is that FRANK "Big Hurt" Thomas was also part of this team, although he was injured the entire season. HE did get the ring :)
Even as a Yankee fan i can very much so appreciate this. Great job.
Now this is nostalgia right here and I'm not even a Sox fan
I’m a big ass white Sox fan and this video made me even more proud of my team❤️✊🏽go white Sox
What an awesome video !! Thank you for putting this together. As a lifelong Sox fan, I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop .... the August swoon, ALDS Game 2 (before Tadahito happened!), Game 3 El-Duque. That ALCS game 2 moment, even as controversial as it was, happened to be when I finally said "We're not losing this year. No way!"
Part of me was the same way. Seemed like Chicago never catches a break when it counts - until that ALCS G2 moment, with Pierzynski pulling the Jedi Mind Trick and setting us up for the win. That's when it started feeling like this could really happen.
I believe it was around that time that Joe Crede stated Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" song was their unofficial song for the year...
Best "doc" on the 2005 Sox I've ever watched. And I've seen a bunch. Amazing job.
Heck yeah! Finally, a video about the team that made me fall in love with baseball as a kid! Glad to see some attention paid towards the most fun squad of my childhood and all of my friends'!
2020 cws : from Cuba with love
White Sox celebrated Cuban history about a week ago. I’m not Cuban but man couldn’t love Jose abreu more, last year I was able to get his photograph signed. Mucho amor from Chicago to Cuba primo
Minnie Minoso and the 2020 Sox Cuban players, Abreau, Moncada, Grandal, and rising star 🌟 Robert are the best! Back at you Cuba with ☮️ peace and love. Cuba great ball players and the CWS honor that connection.
What a great video man. I teared up. This is was the best time I ever had as a fan. My grandpa was a lifelong Sox fan and got to see them win at age 84. I know he died a happy man.
Definitely one of the most underrated championship teams ever. Makes me kinda sad that they stopped the Astros 2005 miracle season but oh well.
no need to worry about them. 12 years later they figured out their own formula on how to win. at all costs
@@sjang816 that formula being a rather trashy percussion set

Thanks for this Video. I started getting interested in Baseball in 2011 and I'm so happy that guys like you make me learn about and enjoy the history of this beautiful sport! Cheers from Germany
That classic fox scoreboard brings back alot of good memories
One of the at scoreboards ever made I loved it
This video made me tear up. I miss that team. That’s when I really started caring about baseball. I was always a Sox fan growing up, but never really payed attention to the team and cared about the players, then that season hit and it’s bringing back so many memories. I live in an area filled with Cubs fans and the lack of respect for this team by everyone is just wrong. Arguably one of the best teams in MLB history. Also, can we talk about the absurdity that the 3 other playoff teams all went 95-67 in the regular season?!
This was a dream come true. I have seen all my teams win championship’s. Sox, Bulls, Bears and Blackhawks. My family were huge Sox fans and it’s sad that some didn’t live to see them win. I never get tired of watching clips from that season. Ozzie was the right manager for that team.
The inclusion of the buehrle beer story makes this incredible
The video was beautifully well said and Thank you for saying "Never Forget"😭😭😭
Thank you for the tears you've brought to my eyes with this recap of that wonderful season. Go Sox in 2021. Peace
Love the vid. As a Sox fan u forgot one final piece. One of the greatest catches in sox history. The uribe catch. He saved us as well in 05
Man I will always remember exactly where I was at when the final out was made. I will never forget this amazing season and team. I even have a ball signed by the entire team.
I got chills at the end. Great video. I will now remember the 2005 White Sox.
I must thank you. Every since I went to Chicago I felt in love with the city and with every team sport there. I became a fan of the Cubs and never really cared for the White Sox. Always thought they were just the lesser team. But after this video, I now know how awesome they were and the history that they have. Definitely a fan now and will be rooting for them!
Thank you for finally getting it... ✌️
Ohh yeah. I gotta... THE CUBS SUCK!!! 🤣✌️
One of my favourite teams of all time, the 2005 White Sox. They were awesome.
This Chicago team dominated the playoffs like their football team did 20 years earlier.
the Angels had them in game 2, and were gonna go up 2-0 on them. But then that bad call ruined everything. So no domination.
@@hmhm856 No games are decided on a single play. If they wanted to win that game, they should have played better throughout the entire game. Plus, even if they did get him out, the game would still be tied.
Man, I really miss seeing fans in the seats.
uyuyyhhy bdfggej nvvgku gey246
Part of what made this so special was the flash-in-the-pan, magic success of that year, so dominating, and disappeared just as quickly, without a trace.
The Chicago Bears almost 20 years earlier were exactly like that.
I was at the Game 3 playoff in Boston with my daughter. Watching El Duque strike out three batters wit bases loaded was the most exciting piece of baseball I ever experienced. I still get chills thinking about it.
Without a doubt one of the most memorable moments in post-season baseball. Putting El Duque (former Yankee) on the mound against Boston turned the drama dial to 11. Guillén's intention for sure and everyone in the ballpark knew it. Win or lose everyone who bought a ticket to that game got their money's worth.
The end was sooo freakin beautiful 😭
I loved watching this team in '05 -- very likable and underrated. Thanks for this video.
Thank you for the video. I’m a die hard Sox fan. Grew up next to the ballpark. Still live not too far from there. They won the World Series on my birthday October 26th. Just pure magic.
This video made me cry at the end just like it did while watching it in real time. That’s the power of baseball. Thank you so much for this. It’s a mix of happy tears and sad tears of a simpler time. Amazing.
I'm a big baseball fan but must have slept through this season. What an amazing story! Talk about your no-name team. Fantastic!!!
These videos make me remember how amazing baseball is
It's like if Srs read my mind. MLB the show 20 has a moment where you need to hit a grand slam with Paul Konerko and man I was thinking of that White Soxs team ever since. This was great
Excellent video! Thank you for putting this together for us White Sox fans. Your hard work is greatly appreciated. I am a lifelong 64 year old Chicago White Sox fan... GO GO White Sox 2021!
That team sure was WINNING UGLY!!! Hahaha!!!
I was 10 when this happened and this was the only time my entire family got together to watch the entire season. My first game was in 01, so seeing this and the Dynasty Bulls was a blessing. Thanks mom and dad. Southside born and bred.
One of the greatest CZcams videos I’ve ever seen, wow
14:52 “Los Angeles Angels Of Anaheim”
*Everyone liked that*
They used to be called the Anaheim Angels and then a couple years after winning it in 2002, the Anaheim Angels changed to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. What he said is correct.
I just can't get enough of the 2005 WS win of our team. LET'S NEVER FORGET! Gershom Ratheiser (Netherlands)
Best video yet on the 2005 series for the White Sox !
I've been a White Sox fan since I was 5, and I remember very well that 2005 series. It breaks my heart to see that major sports broadcasters forget what we did in 2005! Embarrassing, actually. But this video gave me allergies and that's why I have tears in my eyes, that's all... thank you for this video!
I'm an Astros fan but I remember the 2005 White Sox motto "Win. Or Die Trying."
still a astros fan? thought yall were nonexistent
@@aidanharnois4536 yea bro I don't really care at all about the cheating scandal most of the media just tries to please New York or L.A. so I'm glad they did it actually and the Astros non official motto this year is "Hate Us" 👀
Kevin M I love that motto ngl I’ve been thinking about buying me a shirt or mask that says “hate us” with the Astros logo on it
@@713db7 I've seen people around Houston and I like it I wish the Astros embraced the Hate and made some official ones.
Kevin M Its a little tough for the Astros to embrace the hate because before the cheating scandal the Astros were a pretty likable team and I think they think they can still try to be likable which is obviously the wrong approach ( and yes I’m an Astro fan)
Sorry, but nobody in Chicago calls Paulie "Konerks" lol
This guy I run into in the mirror every now and then is from New York, and that’s what he calls them. Weird dude though.
It's as cringe as somebody saying "chitown".
John Landeen Freeman anyone who says chi town is from the north side, probably evanston. all my homies evanston.
@@ethanbrooks1148 yeah blah blah blah did you get your pop time below 2 yet?
John Landeen Freeman 1.95 rn trying for 1.9 in the spring
I’m a very big White Sox fan and often I feel history and the media forget about us. Thank you so much for making this video. It means a lot to the true White Sox fans
Bruh, this brought a tear to me eye. I'll never forget the 05 Chicago White Sox.
As a lifelong Astros fan, I will never forget the ‘05 White Sox
"The future of the White Sox in 2020 is better than ever."
....*sigh*
Excellent video. Brought back great memories of this magical season. Even though the media rarely mentions this historic season, us die hard White Sox fans will forever cherish it in our hearts!
Man this was an underrated World Series run and this is a great year to give the current Sox team some much needed historical context. Thanks for putting it all together
Hell yeah a video on my south siders loving the content guys
Here in 2024 the White Sox are 2-14 right now, and the opening line of this video has crushed my soul.
Damn. I remember watching it with my dad at our Chicago home in our basement and bonding with him for a genuine moment I’ll always hold onto and cherish. Best video I’ve seen here in a while. Amazing job!
This team was so fun to watch! So many great players and great seasons.
