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.",
