The White Sox, on the other hand, are far superior to the Cubs, ranking 12th in all of baseball. They did, however, suffer a significant setback after beginning last season ranked fourth. The Cubs, meanwhile, began this year ranked ninth but have since fallen to 13th.
It's hard to compare these two teams because of their differences, but if we had to pick one then we'd go with the White Sox. They've got more talent throughout their lineup, and they also have an All-Star pitcher in Jose Quintana. As for the Cubs, they're just not as good as people think they are. They have some great players such as Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo, but they also have many weak links such as Javier Baez and Kyle Schwarber. Overall, we'd have to say that the White Sox are the better team.
The Chicago White Sox are a professional baseball team headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. They are a part of the American League (AL) Central division in Major League Baseball (MLB). The team plays its home games at Guaranteed Rate Field in downtown Chicago.
Originally founded as the Chicago White Stockings in 1871, the franchise changed their name to the White Sox prior to the start of the 1900 season. The present version of the White Sox began play in Birmingham in 1969 after leaving the then-named Crosse & Blackwell Park for what was then Atlanta's new AL city. The team has won two World Series titles - one with Jackie Robinson and another with Albert Pujols - and made eight other appearances, most recently in 2005.
The Chicago White Sox have played their home games at several different cities throughout their history. They originally played in Chicago's Western Addition before moving to East Lake Park in 1890. From 1901 to 1959, they played at Comiskey Park, which is now named after former White Sox owner Charles K. Wagoner. Following the death of Wagoner in 1960, the club moved back to the West Side where they remained until 1989. That year, they left the city for a second time when they went to Arlington Heights into County Stadium.
White Sox of Chicago The Chicago White Sox are a professional baseball team headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. Jerry Reinsdorf owns the White Sox, who play their home games at Guaranteed Rate Field on Chicago's South Side. The White Sox have won two World Series titles - 1917 and 2005.
The White Stockings were one of the original eight teams that made up the National League (NL), which began play in 1876. The team was founded by William Hulbert as an alternative to the established AL team, the Chicago Cubs. The NL White Stockings played only 86 games from 1875-1877 due to financial difficulties and the death of their star player, Ed Williamson. When they disbanded, their players were transferred to the Cubs organization where they remain today.
Williamson had been hired by Hulbert to help bring fans into the new ballpark he was building. However, after seeing the amount of money being spent on players' salaries, Williamson decided not to join the team. Instead, he went back to Louisville, Kentucky, where he owned and operated a hotel. He died in 1877 at the age of 36.
After Williamson's death, Hulbert could no longer afford to pay players. Thus, the National League White Stockings ceased operations and their players were distributed among the other NL teams.
The Chicago White Sox are a professional baseball team in the United States headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. The White Sox play in Major League Baseball's American League Central Division. They have won two World Series titles - since 1959 with Robin Ventura as manager.
The team was founded in 1876 as the Chicago White Stockings by an owner named William Hulbert who had been given permission by the National League to form a new league. The original intent was to play in the newly established American Association, but Hulbert never paid his dues to that league and so was not allowed to play until after the NL suspended its own season due lack of competition. Once the White Stockings finally did play a game they were defeated by the Cincinnati Reds 4-1. After one more season the franchise was sold and renamed the Chicago Blackbirds before being disbanded altogether a few months later. In 1901 a new club was formed and they have been called by several different names since then including the Black Sox, White Sox, and current day version.
The team has only missed the postseason once when it first started playing games at Comiskey Park in 1920. Since then they have made it every year except for 1942 and 1943 due to World War II. Their average home attendance has always been more than 30,000 per game.

The White Sox have played in Chicago since 1906 when they moved from Washington Park after only one season. Prior to this, the club spent its first five seasons (1895-99) in Milwaukee where they were known as the Brewers. The White Stockings were renamed the Cubs in 1909 after Charles "Charlie" Weeghman bought the rights to use the name White Stockings. However, since 1913, all Cubs teams have been blacklisted by MLB due to the racial integration of baseball at that time.
