The 2005 Chicago White Sox were nothing short of an Underdog. Although they had started to gain ground in the seasons leading up to 2005, the White Sox found themselves in the second-worst drought in professional sports history: 88 years without a World Series win. And, before they finally ended it, they were only second to the Chicago Cubs that we covered two episodes ago. It took a lot of hard work and team chemistry to do what the White Sox did in 2005, as they steamrolled their way through the best teams in the major leagues.
