Inside hilarious White Sox wild-card series celebration that produced Munetaka Murakami's latest viral moment

The South Siders won a playoff series for the first time since their World Series run in 2005, and they celebrated like it.

In a chaotic celebration following their wild-card series win over the Houston Astros, the Chicago White Sox brought back memories of their 2005 World Series triumph at the very same stadium. This victory marked the franchise's first postseason series win since their 1917 World Series title. The White Sox's success began after losing 121 games two seasons ago, becoming the first team in major league history to make the postseason after three straight 100-loss seasons.

Headed into the ALDS, the lovable underdog team, led by second-year manager Will Venable and stars Munetaka Murakami, Miguel Vargas, and Tristan Peters, is ready to play October baseball.
