Sox Return Home
CHICAGO — The Chicago White Sox haven’t hosted a championship celebration since World War I began, but on Thursday the team got a good taste of what Friday’s party will look like.
A parade-type atmosphere greeted the newly crowned World Series champs upon their return to Chicago at Midway International Airport. Gathered behind police barricades, a crowd of at least four to five people deep stretched for nearly four city blocks along 63rd Street to cheer on the players and coaches as they drove away with the World Series trophy.
The formal celebration is set for Friday, with a parade at noon CT in the Loop followed by a fan-appreciation rally.
When the Sox touched down, it was nearly 16 hours after the team clinched its first World Series since 1917, but the excitement and enthusiasm from the fans had yet to wear off. Hoisting signs and decked out in their new championship gear, the fans continued the celebration with their chants and cheers upon the team’s arrival.
