The Chicago White Sox are a professional baseball team based in Chicago, Illinois.

The White Sox presently play in the American League's Central Division in Major League Baseball.

From 1991 to the present, the White Sox have played in U.S. Cellular Field, which was originally called New Comiskey Park.

The White Sox are one of two major league clubs based in Chicago, the other being the Chicago Cubs of the National League.

They are most prominently nicknamed "the South Siders", differentiating from the North Side Cubs; "the Pale Hose"; and sometimes by the national media as "the ChiSox", a combination of "Chicago" and "Sox" (as opposed to the BoSox).

One of the American League's eight charter franchises, the Chicago team was established as a major league baseball club in 1901.

The club was originally called the Chicago White Stockings, after the nickname abandoned by the Cubs, and the name was soon shortened to Chicago White Sox.

It was there that, in 1919, the infamous Black Sox Scandal occurred.

Ed Walsh played all but one season in his Hall of Fame career for the White Sox, and owns baseball's lowest ever career ERA.

The teams would only play in occasional exhibition games, or in the World Series, though fans would enjoy seeing their own team finish with a better record than the other.

Philadelphia and St. Louis lost their American League franchises, while New York lost its National League teams (New York later regained a new National League franchise).

However Chicago is the only city to have never lost both teams, giving the Chicago White Sox franchise a unique rivalry that has enjoyed over a century of continuous existence.
