The Chicago Cubs and White Sox rivalry has been going on ever since the 1906 World Series game, where the White Sox beat the Cubs in the first, and only, Crosstown Chicago rivalry World Series Game. 1906 is just six years after the White Sox moved to Chicago, when they first met the Chicago Cubs in the World Series.
This game became the World Championship to prove who belonged in the Windy City. The Chicago White Sox at the time were labeled as”the Hitless Wonders”. This team was filled with veteran players that relied on strong pitching and low scoring. On the other hand, the Cubs were a young powerhouse team that was leading the league with 116 wins. The Cubs were heavily favored not just in their own city but in almost everyone in baseball. How did the 1906 World Series Game end? Well, if you’re a die hard Chicago baseball fan, then you know how that upset ended.
