How do we remember these World Champion Chicago White Sox? In all honesty, even after they finish this sweep of the Astros I have a tough time grasping them as champs. However, if you look at the numbers we should not only look at them as champs, but possibly as one of the best of all time.
Playoff Record: 11-1
Regular Season: 99-63 (at one point 62-29)
Look at what their playoff numbers. They played a very good Red Sox team and a very solid Angels team and the National League Champions .
Overall Score: 67-34
Batting Average: .268
Opponents Average: .202
Home Runs: 18 to 9
Extra Base Hits: 44 to 31
The most amazing thing about this team is their ability to win close games.
One Run Games: 35-19 in regular season -- 4-0 in playoffs
Two run Games: 24-15 in regular season -- 3-0 in playoffs
Overall: 66-34 in games decided by 2 or less

Blah, blah, blaaaaaah.
It shows a real discrepancy in the power of the 2 leagues. The National Leagues entry has not won a single series game in two years. It looks like the worst of the American League is better than the best of the National League.
