“The White Sox (early 60s) are rightly called the 'Hitless Wonders' -- their idea of offense is a walk, an error and a hurricane.”
Joe Garagiola
“[You are a White Sox fan. You are rooting for Kansas City to slow down the Indians, though your own manager didn't sound very comforting when he mentioned how hard it is for the hopelessly downtrodden to keep focus.] You take the Kansas City Royals, ... I guarantee you, they don't want to come to the ballpark.”
Ozzie Guillen
“These guys [the White Sox] I think are better because they've got [designated hitter Jim] Thome now. The American League is a tough league.”
John Gibbons
“We've certainly seen all the additions that the White Sox and the Indians have made with their clubs. We feel like we match up with them quite well and that we are off to a good start to field a very competitive team this season.”
Terry Ryan
“I truly believe the White Sox are going to win it,”
Ron Santo
“Today's managers don't give the starting pitcher a chance. Maybe this White Sox staff has re-proved something that was true all along. If the pitcher's in good shape, and he hasn't allowed too many runs, he can and should go all nine.”
Carl Erskine
“Here again, the White Sox have made the World Series and awakened the city. It was always a challenge playing in Chicago. I think (the city) is ripe and ready for (this World Series).”
