From Best Odds the 2005 Sox were ranked #2 in the 10 most dominant teams in play off history.

The 11-1 run is 3rd best in baseball playoff history I think behind one of the Yankee teams and the 1976 Reds. -
Soon to be an out-of-date list. This time next month, everyone will be talking the 2021 White Sox 11-0 run.Comment

I'll say our 4 straight complete games by the 2005 starting pitchers makes us immortal in post season history.Originally posted by Lipman 1 View PostComment

I doubt we'll ever see 4 straight complete games in a playoff series ever again."Hope...may be indulged in by those who have abundant resources...but those who stake their all upon the venture see it in its true colors only after they are ruined."

You'll never see four straight complete games again. By the way the Yankees did it first if I remember right in 1956.Originally posted by longtimefan View Post
Regarding my third best comment, that's based on winning percentage according to the MLB record book. I think there was a Yankee team that went unbeaten in the expanded playoffs and the 76 Reds again I think went 9-1Comment

The 1970 Baltimore Orioles were the best over-all team I ever saw in a World Series. They took on an incredibly great Cincy BIG RED MACHINE and beat them 4 games to 1. Brooks Robinson was a "god" in that series making one great play after another. I was back from Nam at the time and stationed at Ft. Knox Kentucky and watching the games with some buddies at the NCO club. Greatest display by a team I ever saw.Comment

The 76 Reds went 7-0, since there was no DS back then.Originally posted by Lipman 1 View Post(Formerly asindc.)
"I have the ultimate respect for White Sox fans. They were as miserable as the Cubs and Red Sox fans ever were but always had the good decency to keep it to themselves. And when they finally won the World Series, they celebrated without annoying every other fan in the country." Jim Caple, ESPN (January 12, 2011)

The 1976 Reds were stupidly good.
Here's their starting lineup for Game 3 at Yankee Stadium. Your seven-hole hitter: Johnny Bench.
That lineup won six of the eight National League MVP Awards from 1970-1977. They won 102 games regular season games, and no pitcher won more than 15. Baseball Reference shows they used 13 pitchers for the entire season, including Sox immortal Rich Hinton.
I'd put my money on that team against any team of any era.“It's not the high price of stardom that bothers me...it's the high price of mediocrity." - Bill Veeck
"If I was going to storm a pillbox, going to sheer, utter, certain death, and the Colonel said 'Shepherd, pick six guys", I'd pick six White Sox fans because they have known death every day of their lives and it holds no terror for them." - Jean ShepherdComment
