In 1919 eight players were banned from baseball for throwing the World Series. I think if any team would deserve a curse, it'd be the franchise that nearly ruined the sport entirely.

Of course, the national media still isn't aware the White Sox exist so I don't see how they could come up with a curse for them.
I knew a White Sox fan who very much felt that there is a Black Sox Curse. In fact, it was his contention that the city of Chicago actually suffers from it, not just the White Sox.
