White Sox
A baseball team from the South Side of Chicago. In 2005, they won the World Series, much to the consternation of one Jon Cahow. In 2006, however, they finished six games behind the Minnesota Twins in the AL Central - marking the fourth time in five seasons that they lost the division to the Twins.
The bandwagon phenomenon[edit]
As with any professional sports team, a winning season will create new fans. Because of this, the 2005 World Series champion White Sox created a lot of new fans - including many on the Knox campus. But the White Sox also have an extremely loyal following from all parts of Chicago. Their fans are not limited to the South Side, either.
There are those who will claim that White Sox fans at Knox are all bandwagon-jumpers - that is, fans who become fans only after a team has a very successful season. This is far from the norm, though there may be some.
