Season 7
Post Season

American League Championship Series

Sox End Oakland Dreams
Dream Season Continues For Chicago Now Head To WS

It has been a season of accomplishment for the 1963 Chicago White Sox and after winning 103 games during the season, they made short work of their first post season challenge.

The 2006 Athletics prepared for the Sox with some of the best pitching we saw all season. Rich Harden however lost a close one as his defense let him down in game one and in game two Juan Pizzaro beat Dan Haren and took much of the life out of their underdog opponents.

Coming home Ron Hansen hit his second home run of the series and the Sox cruised to an 8-3 win and took complete command of the matchup. Rich Harden did come back to salvage some pride in an Oakland game four win but the Sox put things away in game five as Pizzaro did it again in a 4-2 win.

Pete Ward was voted MVP of the series after he hit .474 in the five games and despite three home runs in the series from Milton Bradley, the Athletics saw their hopes fade away in what was still a season they could be proud of.

Nothing changes for this /White Sox team, that now stands one final series away from a championship.

National League Championship Series

Allen and White Sox Rip Through Tribe
Sweep In The Cards As None Of The Four Are Close

Dick Allen showed why he has no intention of being forgotten or overshadowed by anyone as the big Chicago slugger helped his 1972 team race to the pennant and the World Series.

Allen hit three home runs and drove in 8 runs to win the MVP of the series and outperform the likes of Tris Speaker. The Sox rolled all over Cleveland in game one scoring 11 runs on 16 hits and sending a clear tone. Wilbur Wood was the winner in game two as again the Sox bats came to life and one team was in control as the series moved to Cleveland.

Fan enthusiasm couldnt do much as Buddy Bradford went 4-5 with 2 runs and RBI and and the visitors scored 4 in the 8th to break a tie and break the Indians backs. In the clincher the Sox again punished Stan Coveleski who took his second loss while Dick Allen hit a big home run in a 9-5 win. One team just seemed ready for this series while the other seemed rusty and ill prepared.

Tris Speaker did not drive in a single run and ended hitting a meager .250 proving the post season baseball in a whole other animal. Two White Sox teams now prepare for the World Series that had two red hot confident sides ready to tangle with each other.

Go Go White Sox in every way.
