White Sox open season with a bang in soggy opener
Chicago fans packed U.S. Cellular Field as the White Sox defeated the Cleveland Indians 10-4 after a nearly three hour rain delay. Jim Thome homered in his first game against his former team, Brandon McCarthy shined in relief, and Derek Iguchi plus rookie Brian Anderson contributed key hits as Chicago celebrated 2005 World Series glory and looked ahead to 2006. The night featured banners for 1906, 1917, 2005, and 2004 division titles and a fireworks finale amid a sellout crowd of 38,802.
