	White Sox pennant quest is completed - The Boston Globe
		The Chicago White Sox, the team the World Series forgot, are advancing to the final round of Major League Baseball's postseason tournament for the first time in 46 years after eliminating the Angels, 4 games to 1, in the ALCS.
		Rowand had doubled and scored Chicago's first run off Angels starter Paul Byrd on Crede's sacrifice fly in the second, a run that was matched by the Angels in the third when Juan Rivera doubled, took third on Contreras's wild pickoff attempt, and scored on Kennedy's base hit.
		The Angels hit just.175 for the series, and Vladi Guerrero, who may have been hiding a shoulder injury, batted just.050 and for the second straight game failed to get the ball out of the infield.

	Urban Legends Reference Pages: World Series
		Many believe that the name World Series is American hype or arrogance, but the truth is that the Series was named after the New York World newspaper who sponsored the title games in the early part of the century.
		These games were primarily exhibition contests (because the National League had yet to acknowledge the legitimacy of the American Association), but every year from 1884 through 1890 the two leagues' champions met in post-season series of varying lengths (an event that was known, among other names, as the "world series").
		The "Temple Cup" championship series, as it became known, was held for the four years between 1894 and 1897, after which a lack of fan interest resulted in its termination and the return of the cup to its donor.

	AmericanHeritage.com / The Birth of the World Series
		The American League had been put together at the turn of the century after the model of the earlier American Association, uniting a number of teams rejected by the National with those of the geographically isolated Western League.
		When Boston, an American League team, and Pittsburgh, from the National, were both clearly headed for decisive 1903 pennant victories in their leagues, their owners, Henry J. Killilea and Barney Dreyfuss respectively, agreed to finish the season with an unprecedented interleague match-up.
		The first World Series in 1903 was what first started that cooperation between the leagues, and it created as important an institution as exists in America’s beloved national sport.

		The 2005 American League Championship Series was played between the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and the eventual World Series champion Chicago White Sox.
		The Angels won the first game in Anaheim, California, but the Sox won four games in a row afterwards to win the series 4-1 and advance to the 2005 World Series.
		The series is perhaps best known for a controversial call in game 2 in which after A.J. Pierzynski struck out in the ninth inning, the home plate umpire Doug Eddings declared that Pierzynski was allowed to run to first.

		Both of the National League clubs may have better rotations – and that's highly debatable – but it cannot be argued that anyone other than the White Sox has the best overall pitching staff in the postseason.
		Angels analysis: This series could be played with a mirror, because the Angels have the skills and depth (and the aggressive manager, Mike Scioscia) to counter whatever Chicago offers.
		The Yankees series – and the flulike problems of Jarrod Washburn – took a lot out of the Angels' pitching.
