Konerkos grand slam is one of, if not the most iconic moment in White Sox history

[@ianzellick4980]

Would be interesting to see how this would have gone down had there been replay challenge back then

[@darrenwaunn7440]

No contest. What a moment

[@BishBaroniee]

That was one of the most bitter moments of the whole series for an Astros fan like me. I was so pissed off that Dye was awarded first base after the ball clearly hit his bat, but we laid up a juicy fastball for Kenerko to launch over the left field wall so it was overall shit for us lol. I was in fifth grade during this series and it was such a crushing blow to not win one game! Great series, though.

[@AviationVlogger]

@@ianzellick4980 Honestly, it would. And everyone knows things would have been different of they had replay challenges back then. But I still believe the White Sox would still have won the WS.

[@Adam1991713]

As an Astros fan, I think this series was the best sweep series off all time. Astros actually put up a fight this series. The White Sox were just a better team. I never understood why people made fun of the Astros like they got dominated, especially from Rangers fans during their World Series runs in 2010 and 2011.

Also cried when the Cubs won it all... My dad had passed before that season and he was a die hard Cubs fan. Miss you pops.

[@harveywells6977]

The 2005 White Sox have got to be one of the most under-rated teams in MLB history. All they did was go 12-1 in the post season and in the process, rattle-off four straight complete games against the Angels in the ALCS. Something we may never see again.

[@smartacus1367]

Yeah, it’s sad to see starting pitchers can’t even get past 3 innings in the postseason nowadays and even when they are in control, they are pulled for no reason

It's sad that the only reason this is forgotten is bcuz it's the White Sox. If the 2005 Southsiders were the Yankees or Dodgers they'd be mentioned among all-time greatest championships. 11-1 postseason, 4 straight complete games in a league championship series & countless amazing moments.

Scott Podsednik hit two home runs during the playoffs after going the entire regular season without hitting any home runs. The White Sox struggled near the end of the regular season during September 2005 before catching fire in October and were nearly unbeatable during the playoffs.

[@smartacus1367]

They really didn’t struggle at all that season, pretty sure they were in first place in the AL the whole way through

@@smartacus1367 I am a White Sox fan and trust me, they did struggle near the end of the season for most of August and early September before getting red hot over the last week of the season and during the playoffs. But you are correct that they were in first place every day that season.

[@Tornado1994]

@Otávio Ferreira And now the White Sox are a Mediocre Club. Good. Gullien was a Sleazeball. The 2005 White Sox were able to buy the 2005 WS. The Empires made HORRIBLE calls too. Crowns back then were often "BRIBED" Brought by Bud Selig. He'd Already rig and set the World Series by Post Season. Once a Team was profitable with wins, the WS was already decided by the End of the Regular Season. Usually 6 weeks before the Series. Selig Already Selected the White Sox. Basically, World Series until that Jackass Retired, were Brought, Bribed, Paid FOR and Illegitimately won. The White Sox are paying their dues for this Bribery. By sucking ass as a Mediocre Club that FAILS yearly in the AL Central. And I say that as a Giants fan.
