WHITE SOX WIN!!!

For the first time in 88 years the White Sox have won the World Series. This is so awesome. My brother and I have both been close to lifelong fans and as we talked about this week we will have a world series in our lifetime. If nothing else this puts us ahead of several generations of Chi Sox fans, hard to complain if they don't win another one soon.

How do a couple of boys from Idaho become fans of a Chicago team? I'm sure you are thinking this, everyone asks. The answer in simple. Our paternal grandma's dad, our great-grandpa, played for them. I don't know a lot of details and don't even know if he played on the Major league team or farm system. One of these days I suppose I will have to try and find something on that.

Anyway, congrats to the 2005 team. Winners of the most games, division leaders wire to wire and now World Series champs.
