 CHICAGO (AP) - Their second celebration in a little more a week behind them, the White Sox came home Saturday to await their first trip to the AL Championship Series since 1993, two years before wild cards were added.
They've been hearing a lot about history lately. The subject popped up when they clinched the AL Central with a league-best 99 wins and again when they swept the defending champion Boston Red Sox.
They've heard how the franchise hasn't played in a World Series since 1959, hasn't won a title since 1917 — the last time until Friday the White Sox had even captured a playoff series — and even about the 1919 World Series when eight players were charged with conspiring to fix the outcome.
