Chicago White Sox

The Chicago White Sox are a Major League Baseball team based in Chicago, Illinois. They are in the Central Division of the American League.

Rivalry

The Chicago Cubs and the Sox are both in, respectively, the first and second longest championship droughts of any professional baseball teams. (The Sox' drought is an impressive 31 years longer than that of the Cleveland Indians, the team with the third-longest drought.) This fact, in addition to the teams' geographic proximity, has created a heated Sox-Cubs rivalry. Most White Sox fans take joy in the failures of their crosstown rival and the same is true for Cubs fans. The advent of interleague play has intensified the rivalry.
