Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which of these normally solid defensive infielders made the only error of game 1?

Answer: Adam Everett

Astros Manager Phil Garner likely had Everett in the game solely for his glove. Everett only hit .212 in the 2005 postseason.

2. Roger Clemens of the Astros took the game 1 loss.

Answer: False

Wandy Rodriguez took the game 1 loss in relief despite allowing only one run.

3. Chicago's Scott Podsednik's game-winning home run in game 2 was the first time he had hit one all year, regular and postseason.

Answer: False

Podsednik hit a home run in the ALDS vs. the Red Sox. He hit none in the regular season.

4. Which White Sox hitter did not get a hit in game 2?

Answer: None of these

Every White Sox hitter got a hit in game 2.

5. Which White Sox pitcher walked the most batters in game 3?

Answer: Orlando Hernandez

White Sox Manager Ozzie Guillen let "El Duque" stay in the game, and he pitched himself out of a bases loaded jam.

Answer: Tampa Bay Devil Rays

This was Blum's only at-bat of the World Series.

7. The White Sox and Astros combined to leave how many players on base in game 3?

Answer: 58

Morgan Ensberg, who struggled the entire series, led the Astros with 6 left on base. Scott Podsednik, Aaron Rowand, and Juan Uribe, led the White Sox with 5 left on base each.

8. Which Astros batter walked 3 times in game 4?

Answer: Lance Berkman

Berkman was one of the few bright spots for the Astros in the series, leading the team with a .385 series batting average.

9. In game 1 of the series, White Sox pitchers walked none of the Astros' batters. The Houston pitchers did the same thing to the White Sox hitters in game 4.

Answer: True

Rookie starter Brandon Backe pitched the game of his life, but it ended in heartbreak for the Astros as eventual World Series MVP Jermaine Dye singled home the lone run of game 4 in the eighth inning.

10. The White Sox outscored the Astros by a total of how many runs in the series?

Answer: 6

The 2005 Chicago White Sox tied the record for the lowest total margin of victory in a sweep in World Series history (1950 New York Yankees who played the Philadelphia Phillies). This is a testament to the Astro's "never-say-die" attitude, even though they were swept. This series was much closer than the 4-0 outcome would indicate.
