1974 World Series

The White Sox would dispatch of the Braves in 5 games to win the 74' series.

They would win game 1 on a Jose Cardenal two run shot in the eighth to break a 5-5 tie and win it 7-5.

Game 2 was a slugfest 14-10 win for Chicago. Costen Shockley had 2 homers and 6 RBI and Byron Browne would homer and drive in 3 runs.

Game 3 in Atlanta saw Don Durham pitch a gem for the Sox as he bested Wenty Ford en route to a 3-1 Chicago win and a 3-0 series lead.

In game 4, the Braves took advantage of 4 1st inning walks off of Tom Griffin to grab a 3-0 lead and Nolan Ryan would make it stand as the Braves staved off elimination with a 3-2 win.

Ron Guidry would take the hill for the White Sox in game 5 and he tossed a complete game, edging out Jerry Robertson and the Braves by a 3-2 score and taking the 1974 title. Costen Shockley & George Hendrick combined for 3 homers and 11 RBI in the series.
