The 2005 Chicago White Sox had an unbelievable 2005 season, but are often looked over in the grand scheme of baseball history. Not only have they been forgotten by the media on several occasions since their historic run, but they are generally underappreciated by baseball fans. In this video, Matt goes through their 2005 campaign as a means of reliving, remembering, and appreciating their great season.

@@Blankford777 I experienced it as a White Sox fan and forgot so many key moments that literally had me balling. The biggest moment, to me, was when Hernandez came in with the bases loaded and no outs, and gave up no runs.. Anyways, I haven't cried/teared up like this since watching some of those well made ESPN docs for make a wish and heroic people. Hope this is mainly not White Sox fans that see this too. The team is forgotten, but I just now realized how incredible the run was, and what we actually accomplished(yes we, lol).

@alexwei2573 3 года назад
G EJ That’s true, the Giants that year weren’t the best team during the regular season, Bumgarner included (the stats that you mentioned were regular season stats). However, Bumgarner had a 1.03 ERA during that postseason, and won NLCS and WS MVP. I was responding to your quote that one man can’t carry a team to a long postseason run. You probably meant that not one player could single-handedly carry a team through a regular season and help them make the playoffs, and I agree with that. But once in the playoffs, one player could relatively make a large enough impact for his team to make a deep playoff run, due to the smaller number of games played during the postseason.

@myblacklab7

@stevegarcia3731
@stevegarcia3731 2 года назад
Good point. I looked at the team's record that year with and without Frank in the game. The team actually was slightly better WITH Frank. Decimal points better. So, had he played more, it seems it would not have hurt their performance. 99 wins always speaks for itself, but it is possible that 100 or a bit more was possible. And 11-1 in the playoffs - you can't knock that, either - only the 2nd time (and last time so far) it's ever been done!

Don't know where you got the quote but I appreciate it, and Paulie was right about that perception. We were always 2nd place in that Division, first to Thome & ManRam's Indians and then to Santana & Mauer's Twins. Kenny Williams would trade the whole farm system if he thought he could get a few proven vets, and a lot of people thought that was an unreliable strategy. But most of all, as you and I know, the White Sox are an invisible franchise, based in an equally invisible blue collar neighborhood in a city that might not be big enough for two MLB teams.

They swept the defending champs and celebrated by pounding beer at Fenway. The '05 White Sox were absolute gangsters. They lost 1 game all Postseason, the first ALCS game against the Angels. There hasn't been a more dominant Postseason team since. And the truth is that they were that dominant for almost the entire regular season, as well. The only reason it didn't quite seem that way is that they fell into a slump during the last month of the season before getting back on track right before the season ended. They mashed everyone. I truly have not seen that much of a disparity between the best team in baseball and everyone else since the Yankees teams of the late 90's.

Wow, as a kid who admired Frank Thomas, but grew up in Boston and kind of bailed on the White Sox when 2004 happened, and was so upset about FT not playing in the 2005 postseason when they FINALLY made it after waiting my entire kid life to see him in the world series... this is the video I didn't know I needed to see.

Great Video! Lots of role players get overlooked even within this team. Cliff Politte and Neal Cotts both pitched out of their damn minds all year long from the bullpen. And the infield defense with Crede, Uribe, and Iguchi was absolutely stellar. Uribe’s foul pop out falling into the stands in the 9th in Game 4 was a huge out.

I live in an area filled with Cubs fans and the lack of respect for this team by everyone is just wrong. Arguably one of the best teams in MLB history. Also, can we talk about the absurdity that the 3 other playoff teams all went 95-67 in the regular season?!

That was fun to relive for a moment- I’ve been a Bulls/Bears/Sox/Blackhawks fan my entire life; watching the ‘85 Super Bowl was awesome, and the decade that Mike and the Bulls terrorized the NBA in the ‘90s was indescribable, the 3 Stanley Cups were amazing, but 2005, I just, you know, I don’t have the words. I cried like a child that night, and watched and/or attended every single game that year. I’m so happy they took Frank along for the ride, he definitely deserved it- there was just something so magical and beautiful about the entire season. Wire-to-wire leading the division, ‘small ball’, outstanding pitching that just meshed for an entire season, everyone played their part and did it well, and a bunch of guys most people had never heard of turned a single season into one I’ll never forget. Thank you for this amazing video that made me want to pull out my post season DVD box set and watch it again.
