 Congratulating the Chicago White Sox on winning the 2005 World Series.

Whereas the Chicago White Sox won 99 games during the regular season and 
        compiled the best record in the American League;
Whereas the White Sox, through great pitching, hitting, and superb defense 
        dominated the playoffs with an impressive 11-1 record, beating the 
        former world champion Boston Red Sox, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, 
        and the Houston Astros;
Whereas the White Sox have the distinction of participating in the longest game 
        during World Series history of 5 hours and 41 minutes;
Whereas the White Sox, formed in 1901, earn the distinction of being world 
        champions for the first time since 1917, ending an 88 year drought;
Whereas the White Sox swept the Houston Astros by winning 4 straight games in 
        the World Series;
Whereas Jerry Reinsdorf, Chairman of the Chicago White Sox, has become only the 
        third owner to win championships in two major sports; and
Whereas the White Sox organization, from Jerry Reinsdorf, General Manager Ken 
        Williams, manager Ozzie Guillen, and all the players have reinvigorated 
        America's pastime and made Chicagoans proud: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That Congress joins with all Americans in congratulating the 2005 World 
Series Champion Chicago White Sox.
