Who are the White Sox Rivals?

Featured Replies

Hello White Sox Fans,

With the help of message board members beginning in 2014, we—the students and professors of the Know Rivalry Project—began studying rivalry in the MLB. Please help us update and expand our results to ensure that the Chicago White Sox are included by taking 9 minutes to complete our newest survey:

https://umassamherst.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3FdJ8eN2EgFCfCB?mbsrc=krdir&grpID=1368

Our previous results have been featured in numerous sports media outlets, as well as the Wall Street Journal and New York Times. You can view those results, links to media coverage, and learn more about us at our KnowRivalry.com website BUT we'd prefer you didn't until you completed the survey via the link above... we don't want to influence your opinions provided in the survey.

We use the Qualtrics online survey software for data collection. This academic research has been approved by two US universities' Institutional Review Boards (IRB) and it poses no risks to respondents. You'll find more information on the disclosure agreement that is required to start the survey. Thank you for helping us to include the Chicago White Sox by participating and please feel free to share this with any other fans that may also help.

    The White Sox and Cardinals are not rivals...  If anything the fan bases like each other more than any other two MLB teams.  I've worn a sox cap to multiple Cards games in St Louis and I've been given

The team they play that day

Cubs, Indians, Twins, Cardinals....used to be Royals and Tigers in past years.

Some would say the Brewers, but not really.

The NY Yankees in Field of Dreams.

Twins Cubs Indians in that order.

Twins. That is it. and the Cubs the 6 times they play them...but that is team/city pride more than anything else. 

In my lifetime it is the...

Orioles (still hate Tito Landrum)

Blue Jays

Mariners

Rays

A's

 

At times, I'm very fond of the Red Sox, Angels and Astros.

Those are all the playoff opponents.  What about the Indians in 1993-94?

Twins from 2002-2006, 2008, 2010....Tigers in 2012, Twins in 2019-20-21?

Haha I dislike each of the teams you’re fond of more and any one listed rival. 
 

I’d say Twins, Royals, Indians, Tigers, Cubs.

The Twindians. But really, it's whichever ALC team is good when the Sox are trying to be good. Does that mean they have no true rival?

Lol indeed. The Cardinals and Brewers have stopped a lot of Cubs success lately. 

I hate every team in our division except the Royals first and foremost. I also hate the Yankees and in the NL the Cubs and Padres.

I would say right now it is the Indians and then the Twins. The Tribe have competed against us all 90's and even were a thorn in 2005. They were a pain last year and this year as well at the start of our rebirth. 

Indians in the 90's, Twins in the 2000-2014ish. Twins and Indians since. Cubs always for different reasons.

Cardinals simply from a mid-market fan perspective...”greatest fanbase,” Luis Robert, WS titles, similar philosophies on big contracts before Goldschmidt and Arenado, 2006 rivalry, Charlie Tilson (lol).

Nah. They're definitely a bigger rival than the Tigers or Royals

I am actually a fan of the Cardinals because I think they are a well run organization and they are the Cubs primary rival.  I like to see them win.

They are all very annoying and painful opponents, but it is the losses in the playoffs that hurt the most for me.

There is no Sox Cards rivalry whatsoever.  They rarely play each other and the fan bases usually want each other to beat up on the Cubs.  I couldn't have told you half of the Cards players when they were in town.

Ones a fun rivalry, the others actually impact our season and chances at making the postseason. Which one sounds more important?
