White Sox Slide into 2005 World Series
The last time the White Sox were in the World Series was 1959. It had been 40 years since their previous appearance, and that one ended with the 1919 White Sox switching hosiery to become the Black Sox with several players fixing games against the Cincinnati Reds. So on the night that the White Sox clinched the pennant in 1959, the Chicago fire chief joyously issued an order to have all the air-raid sirens turned on full blast. Sirens
The problem was that no one else in the city was alerted to this. It scared people out of their wits, and they ran into the streets screaming, believing that the Martians were attacking. Or worse, one of the street gangs.

Southsider Barack on the mound. Articulate, clean, and good looking but pigeon toed.
The ball! Don't forget the ball!
You can't lose with Clark Kent.
Ozzie says "Bring in the short guy"
For the final out the Astro fans politely get out of the way. Trying to save their beer. Not like Chicago fans who like to be more involved ala Bartman.
Looks like Stevie moved to Houston.

Hooray! I didn't hear any air raid sirens when they won the pennant the other night, but maybe it'll happen when they handily sweep the world series.
p.s. happy birthday, Pops!

The Go Go White Sox. They had the best double play combination.
The sirens were music to my ears.
Thanks Dave for the memories.

Wow, great collection of pics! A team to go down in history. Sweep home Chicago indeed. (nice tune)
Ha, ha...I like the Uribe dive; You found a good photo of it. Chicago fans would never respond like that.
