– The 1906 White Sox, known as “The Hitless Wonders,” beat the Cubs in the World Series.
– The White Sox are the first team in major-league history to win their final three games against three different opponents, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
– When Michael Cuddyer took off for the plate in the fifth inning, he crashed into A.J. Pierzynski, who held onto the low, two-hop throw from Ken Griffey Jr. while tagging Cuddyer for the out. Pierzynski then popped up and showed the ball as the crowd of 40,354 — mostly dressed in black — roared. It was the largest crowd for a White Sox regular-season game since
Aug. 4, 2003.
– The White Sox hosted the game because they won a coin flip earlier this month.
