White Sox focused on the here and now at the spot where they won their last playoff series

As the White Sox open their American League Wild Card Series in Houston, the team is returning to the exact ballpark where they secured their last postseason series victory back in October 2005. That historic championship run culminated with a four-game sweep of the Astros, featuring a final defensive play executed by Juan Uribe, Paul Konerko, Bobby Jenks, and Orlando Palmeiro.

More than two decades later, the current roster includes young players like Sam Antonacci and Tristan Peters who were only toddlers or young children during that memorable run. Despite holding a different mindset from previous postseason appearances and focusing entirely on the current series rather than past history, the squad enters the matchup looking to overcome recent late-season struggles and start a new playoff chapter.
