In 1901 after acquiring several stars from the older league which included Clark Griffith who was the pitcher and manager the previous year (1900), the Sox went on to clinch the American League’s first major-league pennant. This victory started creating interest in the Chicago White Sox tickets from many baseball fans.

The 1906 season was a great treat for all Chicago White Sox ticket holding fans. Ed Walsh, Doc White and Nick Altrock paced the team to their 1906 pennant and faced their cross town rival team the Cubs in the 1906 World Series championships. Chicago White Sox ticket holders were a little afraid for their team because the Cubs had won a total of 116 regular season games (which happened to be a record breaking wins) and were also a favorite to defeat the Sox – because at this time, the Sox had the lowest team batting average in the AL that season. As fate would have it, every baseball fan with Chicago White Sox tickets was undoubtedly ecstatic when the Sox won the World Series in six games. The 1906 White Sox team were known as “the Hitless Wonder”, even to this day.
Over the next ten years after winning the 1906 World Series, the team were not really performing to the best of their abilities. However, they had acquired highly skilled players such as pitchers Reb Russell, Eddie Cicotte and Red Faber, catcher Ray Schalk, Shortstop/third baseman Buck Weaver.
Chicago White Sox ticket buying fans were pleased when the team in 1917 made it through the American League with a record of 100-54 (which is still a franchise record for wins and winning percentage) and ended up winning the pennant by 9 games against the Boston Red Sox. Collins led the offense team (.289, 91 runs), Jackson (.301, 91 runs) and Felsch (.308, 102 RBI). This results really pleased Chicago White Sox ticket holding fans to no end. The Sox pitching staff was led Eddie Cicotte (28 – 12 1.53 ERA), Reb Russell (15 – 5 1.95 ERA), Williams (17 – 8 2.97 ERA) and Reb Faber (16 – 13 1.9 ERA) and was ranked number one with a 2.16 ERA.
The Sox had to face the New York Giants in the World Series but fans with Chicago White Sox tickets knew that the team can hold their own against the Giants. The White Sox went on to beat the Giants in Game 2 by a score of 7 – 2 behind another game effort by Faber to take a 2 – 0 lead in the Series. The team eventually won the World Series thanks to team work.
The White Sox have won a total of three World Series Championships, Seven American League Pennants, one West League pennant, three Central Division titles and two West Division Titles. These victories have contributed greatly to the sales of Chicago White Sox tickets at U.S. Cellular.
The 2009 season started with diminished expectations from the sports pundits and elated expectations from the fans with White Sox tickets. The team had some highs (Mark Buerlhe’s perfect game being the highest) and some lows (falling behind the Minnesota Twins as the season has come closer to an end). It seems that the team is getting ready to make a run in 2010 though, shedding some salary by letting Jim Thome go through waivers and picking up Jake Peavy to solidify the pitching staff next season.
