In a side note of irony, Roush's 1919 White Sox team, finishing 12 games ahead with an 88-52 record, were heavily favored to win the World Series and promptly lost to the Phillies 5-3.

Eddie Cicotte and Lefty Williams played for the White Sox. Williams went 1-2 with a 4.68 ERA, pitching 25 innings and giving up 32 hits and an opposing BA of .320. Cicotte saw limited action during the season, returning from a previous season injury and did not pitch in the series.
