Both the Boston and Chicago teams in our American League (which, along with the National League, comprises Major League Baseball) choose to spell the word with an "x" as in the Boston Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox. I don't know why.

I write in stream-of-thought mode. Which means I just type stuff straight onto the page as I think it...or I think it as I write it if you prefer. So I knew about both of these spellings (and the 'Sox' part is particularly obvious) but I
thought-spelt them the way I typed them without even noticing. So thanks for the typo heads up
