Compare And Contrast Chicago White Sox

Living in a big city is a lot different than living in the country. Cities are compact , loud, and always busy; the country is usually isolated, tranquil, and underpopulated. In a city like Chicago, which is home to about 2.8 million people, there are so many things that contrast from the country. In Chicago, there are about 16 houses per block, there are about two schools within a five mile radius, schools are packed, sports aren’t well funded, and education was kind of like a repeat every year.

Many of these players have been present during some of the greatest rivalries in baseball history.

Going to a game in Fenway is a smorgasbord of delightful feelings. Even the walk up to the ballpark is some thing to behold. Walking with hundreds of passionate fans, all decked out in their red sox T-shirts, jerseys, and of coarse that iconic navy hat with the red B on it. I feel like I belong there with this organized group of strangers. There is such a since of family as I see people from the “T” car I was on and chatted with. A few hundred yards ahead I could hear a “Lets Go Red Sox” chant as people around me began to join in

The causes of why the Chicago Cubs beat the Cleveland Indians was how the cubs got there. The Chicago Cubs had the best regular season record.They had some of the best players in the MLB. When they got to the playoffs they had some struggles along the road but at the end of it all they ended up in the world series after beating 3 teams in the playoffs.

Did you know that the Chicago cubs and St. Louis cardinals have never played each other in the playoffs till 2015. The Chicago cubs and St. Louis cardinals have been rivals since the late 19th century, but back then they were called the Chicago white stockings and the St. Louis brown stockings. The rivalry between them has been filled with hatred, friendship, and a lot of games between the two organizations. The cubs played the cardinals in the NLDS this year and won in four games 3-1. The cubs won the series by home runs, good pitching, and a healthy team.

In game one it was 4-4 in the top of the ninth inning. Giant Casey Stengel hit a line drive to the center field. He got home and he won by putting the score up to 5-4 Giants. The Yankees went against the Pittsburgh Pirates In the 1960 World Series. When Mazerok hit the first strike he missed. On the second hit he hit the ball so hard it soared over the field and into the bleachers. That led to a win for the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 1927 the Yankees swept the World Series again. The lineup was so deadly people started calling it Murderers row. In 1919, the Chicago White Sox and the Cincinnati Red Stockings met face to face. Everyone thought they would win because they had Eddie who was an excellent pitcher and Joe Jackson, their star slugger. They did pretty good from the beginning but they started doing terrible. A few years later they found out that the team messed up on purpose to get payed. In 1934 a new team came in place. They were the St.Louis Cardinals. Most of the people grew up pour and didn't have any money. They liked to pretend to fight in hotel lobbies. They went to the World Series against the Detroit Tigers. The Detroit Tigers thought the Cardinals would be easy to beat. But the Cardinals destroyed the Tigers with 4-3 Cardinals in the number of game. The Red Sox were an extraordinary team. They had Babe Ruth on their side. They won the World Series in 1912, 1915, 1916, and

The tables have turned on the South side fans as the Chicago White Sox's began to claim the lonely bottom of Major League baseball with it fans having to endure the same test of loyalty as the Cubs faithful Northside fans. It would take being cursed by an angry fan, and 107 years of losing to make an even comparison

Wednesday, November 2nd of 2016 the Chicago Cubs made history they had officially broken their curse that was placed on them by William Sainis back in 1945. Sianis’ dispatched a telegram to team owner Philip K. Wrigley which read, “You are going to lose this World Series and you are never going to win another World Series again. You are never going to win a World Series again because you insulted my goat.” (Selzer, 2014, p. 156). However, even before 1945 the cubs had not won a world series since 1908 and same say a curse was put on them at that point, because of the controversy surrounding the National League Pennant.

To me the battle between the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago White Sox is a good battle of good and evil. It's a battle of culture, it's a battle of lifestyle, it's a battle of politics and a battle of social class and also a battle of our environment. This is not just two teams in close proximity. We're not in the same league and these six games are pretty meaningless in terms of the season. The Sox/Cubs series shut down the city, literally in the case mayor Daley closing city hall to go to the game, and the most passionate sports fans in the country at the throat of their neighbors. To me the White Sox and Cubs rivalry is more than just baseball within city limits. It's more than a 12 stop difference on the red line. It's about Hyde park versus Rogers park. It's about the south side Irish, Morgan park, Mt.Greenwood and Beverly it's about honestly two different forms of games altogether AL vs NL. It's about tattoo covered fans who loves their team even though they live in spotlight and it's about fans ,who have waited 100 years and have never seen a parade for their team down Michigan ave. it's about the disgusted feeling each team has for each other, the true feeling of animosity and spite comes out. What we all know how things get started drunken fights at barbecue amongst friends who defend their teams. It's mainly about having hope for your teams no matter of losing or winning and to celebrate as hard as you can after winning and sticking to your values as a Sox or a Cubs fan and defending that other team against

They are alike and not alike in many ways but we will talk about the main reasons. They are alike because as you may know they are located in the same city! They are not alike Because they were established in different cities.The Dodgers were established in Brooklyn and the Angels were in Los angeles.I hope after reading this you can compare and contrast more about these 2 similar teams.

The NL West is one of the most contested divisions in the major leagues, and the top two teams in that division are the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers and Giants have always had a rivalry all the way back to the time when they both still played in New York. In today’s game, they are two of the best teams in the major leagues and are considered contenders for the Commissioner’s Trophy or winning the World Series. Both teams have followed similar paths and have ended up playing a tug-o-war for the top spot in the NL West.

Attention Material: In 1919, the Chicago White Sox, a major league baseball team located in Chicago, Illinois, was one of the best teams in baseball. They had the best record, were filled with talented players, and were in the World Series, which is a series of games that determines who the best team in baseball is. They faced the Cincinnati Reds, a major league baseball team located in Cincinnati, Ohio. They were heavily favored to win, but that did not end up happening. The Reds ended up winning the whole World Series and suspension began to arose about the Chicago White Sox. This lead to the discovery of the Black Sox Scandal, in which players of the Chicago White Sox purposely lost the World Series in exchange for money from gamblers. The players plans were simple lose the series and get the money. However, they got discovered and this lead them to court and a ban from the game that they loved playing.

For Christmas and my sixteenth birthday present my parents planned a trip for me to go to New York City with my dad. Two days after Christmas me and my dad hopped on the plane and headed for New Jersey and New York City. I was very excited because I had been to New Jersey but I never visited New York City before. I also remember being excited because of that fact that I would actually get to see snow in the winter since it rarely ever snowed in Houston during the winter. Then that next year during my junior year in High School, I had the opportunity to go on a trip to Los Angeles with my drill team. I was very excited to get to go to both of these huge awesome cities in that two year period. Both of these cities were unique in their own way. So what makes a city similar to another city and what makes a city different to another city? The people, the weather, the vibe, the monuments and popular attractions are all some of the components of what makes a city unlike any other city. My two favorite cities besides Houston are New York and Los Angeles. I have visited both and like them both equally for different reasons. While New York and Los Angeles definitely have their similarities, they also have many differences that set them apart from each other.

I entered a bar to watch game 6 of the world series. The environment was hyped. The bar was going crazy, the cubs were doing great. I saw two gentlemen they are probably in the twenties, they looked like colleges students and they were at the bar that watch in the game. I could recognize one was a cubs fan because he was dressed from head to toe with cubs gear. The other guy was with a indians hat on. These two guys started arguing, from there I conclude that they are rivals. I was observing them for a long time, they were getting louder with their argument.

The Cubs were rewarded for winning the series by being granted a parade in the city of Chicago. Many things about the parade influenced religious significance. When it comes to religion, individuals are given certain holidays to celebrate important days. For example, Christmas is a holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. Usually, adults are given off work, while children are given a break from school to celebrate this day. This is how the parade was treated. The entire city of Chicago gave students the day off to be able to go to the parade, although this day is not a holiday at all. The parade is like a ritual in religion, because of all the things Chicago did that
