The Chicago White Sox had everything they needed in 2005 to win the World Series and they stack up with most teams in World Series history.

Chicago baseball twitter has some fun arguments sometimes. The hot one right now is the debate between who would win a seven-game series between the 2005 Chicago White Sox and the 2016 Chicago Cubs. Both were great teams and became World Series Champions after very good seasons. The White Sox went 99-63 in the regular season and the Cubs went 103-58. They both won the Central Division of their league en route to one of the league’s top records.
