After 88 years, the Chicago White Sox are World Series Champions and bring the Comissioner's trophy to a city that is second no longer, if only for a night. Now, the team of Ozzie Guillen own the soul of Chicagoans and the indisputable bragging rights of First Team.
Impossible to describe the feeling. Immediately after the last out, my quiet little suburb exploded in joy, fireworks to rival a minor battlefied, car horns blaring, people running out into the streets screaming. No other sports championship can rival this final release of a long drought.
Mal very generously stayed up late to capture highlights of the game, including the go ahead run, Juan Uribe's impossible catch in the stands, the final out, the celebration, and an interview with the hottest man in baseball - Scott Podsednik. Enjoy.

And I thought the Red Sox waited a long time. Have two Sox teams ever before won back-to-back World Series?

They won back to back in 1917 and 1918 - the last time the two teams won the Series.
The odds of them doing it back to back eighty some odd years later after neither of them winning it in that span is something like 18.7 million to 1.
