Chicago baseball fans have yet another reason to take notice tonight as the White Sox and Cubs face off in the Crosstown Classic.
If you are here to get the box score, game summary, player stats and/or team stats for the game between the White Sox and the Cubs, this is the game you need to watch. The Cubs had a wild 7-5, 10-inning victory in the last game and unleashed a Pete Crow-Armstrong in the following game. He was 4-for-5 with two home runs and three RBIs, including the walk-off two-run homer in the 10th.
This competition is more than just a score tonight, however, and causes a few questions to be discussed among Chicago baseball fans for a number of years.
Home on the North Side of Chicago, the "Cubs" play their home games at historic Wrigley Field and are members of the National League. The White Sox are one of the four teams in the American League; they are located on the South Side.
Same city. Different leagues. Different ballparks. Totally divergent fan communities.
In terms of national attention, and just about any other measurement of popularity, it appears the Cubs are in the lead. However, White Sox fans can look back on their own past to their World Series victory in 2005.
Frankly, there is no one right answer that will put an end to this debate! A better team comes and goes from year to year and that's what makes this rivalry fun.
The Cubs' history goes back to 1876, and the White Sox's to 1901. But when it comes to age, the Cubs have been around much longer.
That's a long history that's a major component of the Cubs.
The Cubs have Wrigley Field, a great, long-established tradition, generations of loyal fans, national exposure, and the memorable 2016 World Series championship run that brought an end to their 108-year World Series drought.
The White Sox aren't without their fans, however. They absolutely do. There's a rich history of baseball on the South Side. Overall, though, the Cubs have fostered a bigger grassroots fan base.
So it's no wonder why a match-up between these two teams is always worth a watch.
Seeing just the final score for tonight's game isn't enough. Look at the box score and see who hit and got out, hit home runs, drove in runs, struck out, and what they did on the pitching mound. The numbers often can mean more about how a game was won.
So, Chicago...
