 CHICAGO (AP) - Shoeless Joe Jackson was roaming the outfield, Woodrow Wilson was in the White House and World War I was raging the last time the Chicago White Sox won a World Series.
When those Pale Hose of 1917 beat the New York Giants in six games, winning the clincher at the Polo Grounds, who knew it would be the last championship for the team from Chicago's South Side?
Now the White Sox have a chance to undo a long history of frustration, just as the Boston Red Sox did a year ago when they foiled the "Curse of the Bambino" and won their first World Series since 1918.
