The White Sox have been back three times, the last in 1959. At Harry Caray's bar and restaurant in downtown Chicago, a group of New York fans whooped it up during Game 2 as their city's teams squared off. So it's New York. I wouldn't say there is a huge interest from Chicago. A few regulars say it's kind of neat.
Transportation is the easy part.
The Cubs are languishing again, 90-plus losses in three of the last four years, though they did sneak in the playoffs as the wild card in 1998. And while the White Sox showed promise for the future, winning 95 games this season, they were swept by the Seattle Mariners in the first round of the playoffs. Added together, the White Sox and Cubs have made just 20 postseason appearances with two World Series titles apiece, the last coming in 1917 when the White Sox beat the Giants. Two years later, the White Sox lost to the Reds in the World Series, tainted by the infamous ''Black Sox'' gambling scandal. And I don't think it's going to be there any time soon.
