About the Team
The 1917 Chicago White Sox dominated the American League with a record of 100-54. Their offense was first in runs scored while their pitching staff led the league with a 2.16 ERA. Facing off against the New York Giants in the World Series, and thanks to the workhorse efforts of Eddie Cicotte and Red Faber, the team clinched the series in 6 games. It would be the team's last world championship until 2005.
The Series was played against the backdrop of World War I, which dominated the American newspapers that year and next.
