Chicago White Sox Ltd.
 PROFILE
White Sox and red faces. More than 80 years later, the Chicago White Sox are still remembered for their infamous "Black Sox" squad, which had eight players banned from baseball for throwing the 1919 World Series. One of the American League's original teams (it moved from St. Paul to Chicago for the start of AL play in 1900), the team has two World Series championships and four AL pennants to its credit, but hasn't won the Series since 1917. A group of young talent that surrounds veteran star Frank Thomas took the team to the AL Central Division title in 2000. Real estate developer Jerry Reinsdorf (who also owns the Chicago Bulls) owns the team, which plays at Comiskey Park.
