1917: The White Sox win the World Series for what would seem like the last time.
1918: The Red Sox win the World Series for what would seem like the last time.
80+ years later:
2004: The Red Sox win their first WS in 86 years with a 4-game sweep.
2005: The White Sox win their first WS in 88 years with a 4-game sweep (currently 3-0).
This little slew of stats has me more convinced of some kind of Intelligent Design than any random anti-evolutionary spiel.
