Greetings White Sox fans--I have a question that I'd like your opinion on.
The White Sox, Red Sox and Cubs all went through prolonged championship droughts--86 years for the Red Sox, 88 years for the White Sox, and 103 and counting for the Cubs. But it has always seemed to me that baseball fans have always been more sympathetic to the Red Sox and Cubs than they ever were to the White Sox through that time. It was earthshaking when the Red Sox broke their curse; a year later the White Sox broke a longer one and hardly anyone seemed to care (where I'm from anyway).
Is that my imagination, or do you agree? And if so, any idea why that is? Why is the Curse of the Bambino or the Curse of the Billy Goat more romantic than the Curse of the Black Sox?
Would love to hear from White Sox fans on this.
