The Chicago White Sox were one of the American League's eight founding charter franchises when the league commenced in 1901. They were initially named the Chicago White Stockings before changing to their current name. They won the World Series in 1906 and 1917 before suffering a drought of 87 years, winning their third championship only in 2005.

The Angels, meanwhile, are a relatively new franchise. In 1961, the organization was established in Los Angeles before they moved to Anaheim and eventually settled as the Los Angeles Angels. They have won the World Series only once, in 2002.
