The 2025 Crosstown Classic begins this weekend with the Cubs looking to dominate the White Sox. Currently, the White Sox lead 74-72 in their all-time rivalry, but the Cubs have recently gained momentum, having swept all four games in 2024. The rivalry dates back to exhibition games before 1997, when interleague play was established. The 1906 World Series is a significant highlight, as the White Sox triumphed over the Cubs. This year's matchup could be pivotal for Cubs fans, aiming for their sixth straight win.
This notable event, now nearly 120 years old, saw the White Sox, referred to as the 'Hitless Wonders,' defeat the Cubs in six games for the championship.
The Cubs and White Sox rivalry has grown significantly since 1997, when they began facing off regularly due to MLB's interleague play.
A sweep by the Cubs in 2025 would give them historical precedence over the White Sox in the Crosstown Classic, currently trailing with a score of 74-72.
Since 2023, the Cubs have won five consecutive games against the White Sox, turning the tide in this historic rivalry.
