Winning a world title can do wonders for a team’s popularity. Just ask the Chicago White Sox.
In a survey of nearly 4,300 Chicago-area sports fans, the Chicago White Sox edged out the Bears and the Cubs as the most popular team in town. The poll, conducted by Scarborough Research which does these types of polls for numerous sports teams, found that 57 percent of Chicago fans watched a Sox game on TV, listened to a game on the radio or attended a game at U.S. Cellular Field. This compares to 56 percent for the Bears and 55 percent for the Cubs. The Bulls drew 37 percent and the Blackhawks a whopping 12 percent.
These results will likely change before the next poll takes place next year, especially if the Bears continue to win this season and go far in the playoffs.
