Who Owns the Chicago White Sox?
The Chicago White Sox is a baseball team that competes in the American League Central division as a member club. Guaranteed Rate Field, which is located on the South Side of Chicago, is where the team plays its home games.
Jerry Reinsdorf is the owner of the franchise. Originally founded in 1900 as the Chicago White Stockings, the White Sox went on to become a major league baseball club.
The Chicago White Sox were victorious in both the 1906 and 1917 iterations of the World Series. The Black Sox Scandal, in which some members of the White Sox were suspected of colluding with gamblers to manipulate games, occurred during the 1919 World Series and was a major factor in the series’ overall poor quality.
They were able to win the American League title in 1959 because of the efforts of Early Wynn, Nellie Fox, Luis Aparicio, and manager Al Lopez. The White Sox now hold a record of 9,411–9,309 for the season (.503).
The Chicago White Sox were originally established in 1894 as the Sioux City Cornhuskers of the Western League. At the time, the Western League was a minor league operating under the framework of the National Agreement with the National League.
In 1900, they switched to playing in the American League under the name Chicago White Stockings. This was the previous name of Chicago’s National League team, the Orphans, who are now known as the Chicago Cubs.
In 1906, the club competed in the World Series for the first time, and they were victorious over their crosstown rivals, the Cubs, in six games.
