Angels and White Sox Rivalry Fried Facts

Angels Vs White Sox

Here are some fried facts (fun, quirky, and lesser-known tidbits) about the Los Angeles Angels vs. Chicago White Sox rivalry and history:

1. The 'Disco Demolition' Connection

The infamous Disco Demolition Night (1979) at Comiskey Park (White Sox) caused so much chaos that the White Sox had to forfeit the second game of a doubleheader… against the California Angels.

2. Nolan Ryan’s Near No-No vs. Sox

Angels legend Nolan Ryan threw a no-hitter against the White Sox in 1973—one of his record 7 no-hitters. He also struck out 16 batters that game.

3. The 'Pine Tar Incident'… But for Pitchers

In 1983, White Sox pitcher LaMarr Hoyt was ejected for having pine tar on his glove against the Angels. The rule was later clarified, leading to the infamous George Brett pine tar incident weeks later.

4. The Short-Lived 'Freeway Series' Rivalry

Before interleague play, the Angels and White Sox had a brief 'Freeway Series' rivalry in the 1980s because both teams were owned by Gene Autry (Angels) and Jerry Reinsdorf (White Sox), who were close friends.

5. José Abreu’s Angels Killer Rep

Former White Sox slugger José Abreu loved hitting against the Angels, with a .928 OPS and 22 HRs in his career vs. LAA—one of his highest against any team.

6. The Wild 13-Inning Playoff Preview (2005)

In 2005 (the year the White Sox won the World Series), they played a 13-inning marathon against the Angels that lasted 5 hours and 7 minutes—a preview of their intense ALCS showdown later that year.

7. Shohei Ohtani’s First Career Walk-Off

Shohei Ohtani’s first career walk-off hit came against the White Sox on April 7, 2021, a 2-RBI single in the 9th inning.

8. The 'ThunderStix' Game (2002 ALCS)

During the 2002 ALCS, Angels fans used ThunderStix to create a deafening atmosphere. The White Sox later adopted them in 2005 during their playoff run.

9. Frank Thomas vs. Troy Percival Beef

Frank Thomas (White Sox) and Troy Percival (Angels) had a heated rivalry, including a 1996 brawl after Percival threw inside on Thomas. They later became teammates in Oakland.

10. The 'Throwback Uniforms' Game

In 2019, the White Sox and Angels wore 1970s throwback uniforms in a game—a nod to the Nolan Ryan vs. Sox era.

Bonus: The 'Angels vs. South Siders' Name Game

The White Sox got their name from the old 'White Stockings' (Cubs), while the Angels were named after the old PCL Los Angeles Angels—both names have deep Chicago/LA baseball roots.
