The Sox have some nice history to them. I knew all that already, but I love baseball history non the less. My favorite "history" to come out of the Sox is what Cleveland's Addie Joss and The Sox's Ed Walsh did in 1908. One threw a perfect game, the other threw a no hitter. Ed Walsh lost 1-0.

Also another interesting tidbit, the Chi Sox's first manager was hall of famer, Clark Griffith. Griffith came from the Chicago Cubs and he was one of the main guys responsible for getting people to jump leagues. Griffith also led the Sox in wins that year. And the Sox won the American League that year.

So the Chicago White Sox are the original champions of the AL.
