How did the White Sox win the 2005 World Series?
The same way they swept the division-rival Cleveland Indians in mid July.
The South Siders broke their decades-long championship drought on the backs of their starting pitchers, with the quartet of Mark Buehrle, Jon Garland, Jose Contreras and Freddy Garcia shouldering the load in the postseason’s biggest moments. They did it throughout the regular season, too, of course, tying for the lowest rotation ERA in the American League.
No string of starts was more impactful than the four consecutive complete games those four starters threw in the ALCS.
