White Sox 2005 Rewind: Red-hot Jermaine Dye helped power playoff push

Jermaine Dye won the World Series MVP thanks to four great games in the Fall Classic.

But his hot streak had been going for a while.

Dye started his first season on the South Side slowly, but he found his footing and ended up having a very nice regular season, at times showing the kind of dominance at the plate that he’d turn into a season-long destruction of American League pitching a year later.

With the White Sox stumbling in the month of August, they recovered just in time to straighten out in September and hold off a late-season charge from the white-hot Indians.
