Highlights
Paul Konerko

Paul Konerko earned a niche in local history as captain of the 2005 White Sox, Chicago's first World Series champions in 88 years. Konerko, the Sox first baseman, caught the final out of the Series sweep against Houston and saved the ball until he could present it to Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf at a victory parade attended by an estimated 1 million fans. Konerko and World Series MVP Jermaine Dye also presented a White Sox jersey to President Bush at a White House reception. During the 2005 playoffs, Konerko was named the MVP of the American League Championship Series against the Angels, hitting .268 with two homers and seven RBIs.

Paul Konerko earned a niche in local history as captain of the 2005 White Sox, Chicago's first World Series champions in 88 years. Konerko, the Sox first baseman, caught the final out of the Series sweep against Houston and saved the ball until he could present it to Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf at a victory parade attended by an estimated 1 million fans. Konerko and World Series MVP Jermaine Dye also presented a White Sox jersey to President Bush at a White House reception. During the 2005 playoffs, Konerko was named the MVP of the American League Championship Series against the Angels, hitting .268 with two homers and seven RBIs. In the second game of the World Series, Konerko hit a dramatic grand slam to put the White Sox ahead 6-4 in a game they'd go on to win 7-6 on Scott Podsednik's walkoff home run. Following the World Series, Konerko became a free agent and was ardently pursued by the Angels until Reinsdorf signed him to a five-year contract worth $60 million. Konerko was drafted by the Dodgers as a catcher out of Scottsdale, Ariz. The White Sox acquired him from the Cincinnati Reds in 1999 for outfielder Mike Cameron. He had been a third baseman but was moved to first base and quickly became a fixture at U. S. Cellular Field, helping the White Sox make the playoffs in 2000.  « Show less

  2. Sale does it again with 6-0 victory over Twins

    While the White Sox showed improvement Wednesday night in their attempt to solve left-handers, their own Chris Sale continued to demonstrate why he has been as reliable as any lefty starter in the American League.

  10. Everything's Jake with the Sox

    <strong>During spring training, Jake Peavy said</strong> he wouldn&rsquo;t try to become a pitcher who relies on guile after surgery robbed him of the power he used to have. Peavy lied, and good for him. He has become as smart as he is good. When he lost the plate in the fourth inning, Peavy managed a bases-loaded situation instead of trying to overpower it.
