Chicago White Sox Tickets, 2009 Chicago White Sox Schedule

Information

Up until their World Series Championship in 2005 the White Sox were considered the 2nd favorite baseball team in Chicago. Always the favorite in Chicago's South Side, the Sox never had the widespread support like their cross-town rival Cubs.

The White Sox have played in the American League since its inception in 1901. They currently play in the AL Central Division. The White Sox have three World Championships, 1906, 1917 and most recently 2005. They have won the AL Pennant six times.

Lately the White Sox have proven to be one of the top teams in the AL Central. They clinched the division last season after beating the Minnesota Twins in a tiebreaker to advance to the ALDS. Chicago is hoping to improve their roster even more in order to advance further along in the playoffs for next season.

The AL Central is currently one of the toughest divisions in the league. The Sox will turn to veterans Jim Thome and A.J. Pierzynski to lead the 2009 campaign. If Chicago is able to take care of business within their division in the regular season they should be back in the playoffs again.
