Ten-year anniversary: White Sox sweep Astros to win World Series

Share

Exactly one decade ago from today, the White Sox finally got rid of the ghosts from past years and won their first World Series title since 1917, completing a sweep of the Houston Astros on the road. 

What people may remember the most about that team were the personalities in the dugout. From fiery manager Ozzie Guillen to professional agitator (and catcher) A.J. Pierzynski to quiet leader Paul Konerko, this roster had it all.
