White Sox anticipating raucous crowd, seek to clinch first postseason series victory at home since 1906

The Chicago White Sox are preparing to host postseason baseball with the chance to clinch a playoff series victory at home for the first time since 1906. After entering October as the American League's sixth seed, the team swept their wild-card series in Houston and secured two wins in Cleveland, setting up a potential clincher at Rate Field.

Manager Will Venable and players like Miguel Vargas and Sean Burke noted that the team anticipates an energetic home crowd. Historical milestones are on the line, as Chicago's 2005 championship team and 1959 pennant winner both clinched their decisive series on the road rather than in Chicago.
