ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Not since Shoeless Joe Jackson have the White Sox caused this much of a commotion.
World Series, here they come.
After nearly a half-century of ho-hum baseball, the White Sox finally made it back Sunday night. A.J. Pierzynski came out on the right side of yet another umpiring ruckus, Jose Contreras pitched Chicago's fourth straight complete game and the White Sox beat the Los Angeles Angels 6-3 to win the AL championship series in five games.
The White Sox will take on either Houston or St. Louis, starting at home Saturday night. It will be Chicago's first World Series since 1959, and the White Sox will get a chance at their first title since 1917.
And it will also give them a shot at some long overdue redemption -- they lost the infamous World Series ever, when Shoeless Joe and his "Black Sox" threw games against Cincinnati in 1919 and gave baseball a black eye.
The 46-year gap between Series appearances is the longest in major league history.
Whoa Nellie!
The last time Chicago's South Side team made it this far, it was all about Nellie Fox and his Go-Go Sox.
