The strong Chicago White Sox club had finished the 1917 season with a 100-54 record, their first and only one-hundred win season in franchise history as of 2006. The Sox's next World Series winner in 2005 would finish the regular season with a 99-63 record.

The Sox won Game 1 of the Series in Chicago 2-1 behind a complete game by Eddie Cicotte. Edward Victor "Eddie" Cicotte ( June 19 1884 &ndash May 5 1969) (pronounced Sigh-Cottie nicknamed "Knuckles" was an Happy Felsch hit a home run in the 4th inning that provided the winning margin. Oscar Emil "Happy" Felsch ( August 22, 1891 &ndash August 17, 1964) was an American Center fielder in The Sox beat the Giants in Game 2 by a score of 7-2 behind another complete game effort by Red Faber to take a 2-0 lead in the series. Urban Clarence "Red" Faber ( September 6, 1888 - September 25, 1976) was an American right-handed Pitcher in

Back in New York for Game 3, Cicotte again threw a complete game, but the Sox could not muster a single run against Giants starter Rube Benton and lost 2-0. John Cleave Benton ( June 27, 1890 - December 12, 1937) was a Pitcher born in Clinton North Carolina, for Major League In Game 4 the Sox were shut out again 5-0 by Ferdie Schupp. Ferdinand Maurice Schupp ( January 16, 1891 - December 16, 1971) born in Louisville Kentucky was a Pitcher for the New York Faber threw another complete game, but the Series was even going back to Chicago even at 2-2.

Reb Russell started Game 5 in Chicago, but only faced 3 batters before giving way to Cicotte. Ewell Albert "Reb" Russell ( March 12, 1889 – September 30, 1973) was a Pitcher for the Chicago White Sox. Going into the bottom of the 7th inning, Chicago was down 5-2, but they rallied to score 3 in the 7th and 3 in the 8th to win 8-5. Faber pitched the final 2 innings for the win. In Game 6 the Sox took an early 3-0 lead and on the strength of another complete game victory from Faber (his third of the Series) won 4-2 and clinched the World Championship. Eddie Collins was the hitting hero, batting . Edward Trowbridge Collins Sr ( May 2 1887 &ndash March 25 1951) nicknamed "Cocky" was an American Second baseman 409 over the 6 game series while Cicotte and Faber combined to pitch 50 out of a total 52 World Series innings to lead the staff.

The decisive game underscored the Giants' post-season frustrations, featuring a famous rundown in which Giants' third baseman Heinie Zimmerman futilely chased the speedy Eddie Collins toward home plate with apparently no one to throw to. A rundown, also called a pickle, is a situation in the game of Baseball that occurs when the Baserunner is stranded between two bases and is in jeopardy A third baseman, abbreviated 3B, is the player in Baseball whose responsibility is to defend the area nearest to third base — the third of Henry Zimmerman ( February 9, 1887 - March 14, 1969) known as " Heinie " or "The Great Zim" was a Major Edward Trowbridge Collins Sr ( May 2 1887 &ndash March 25 1951) nicknamed "Cocky" was an American Second baseman A baseball field or baseball diamond is the field upon which the game of Baseball is played Two years before the issue of baseball betting reached its peak, Zimmerman found himself having to publicly deny purposely allowing the run to score, i. e. to deny that he had "thrown" the game. Zimmerman would eventually be banned for life due to various accusations of corruption. Conventional wisdom has it that Collins was much faster than Zimmerman, but existing photos of the play show that Zimmerman was only a step or two behind Collins, who actually slid across the plate while Zim jumped over him to avoid trampling him.

The great athlete Jim Thorpe, better known for football in general, made his only World Series "appearance" during Game 5, where he was listed in the lineup card as starting in right field; but for his turn at bat in the top of the first inning he was replaced by a left-handed hitting Dave Robertson. Jacobus Franciscus "Jim" Thorpe ( Sac and Fox (Sauk: Wa-Tho-Huk) (28 May 1888 – 28 March 1953 was an American athlete

The White Sox, who were essentially dismantled following the 1920 season by baseball commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis due to the Black Sox Scandal in the 1919 World Series, did not win another World Series until 2005.
