If this was Paul Konerko’s final at-bat as a White Sox player at soggy U.S. Cellular Field, it’s safe to say he went out in grand style Sunday night.
But even Konerko, who hit a seventh-inning grand slam, was upstaged in one of the craziest and dramatic victories […]
After 46 years and an additional five days, the White Sox methodically scraped off layers of World Series rust Saturday night.
Jermaine Dye and Joe Crede supplied power with home runs. Crede also provided Gold Glove-caliber defense to halt two Houston rallies.
