"A lot of Irish are Sox fans for some reason."
The reason is Comiskey Park now ,ugh Cellular Field is in a section of the city called Bridgeport. It's where a great many Irish have lived for generations. Even before the park. The first Mayor Daley lived too. He also was a Sox fan. -

I have never heard that many Irish-American Chicagoans prefer the White Sox over the Cubs. I have only visited Chicago, but have lived my whole life in the New York area. Many Italian-Americans have rooted for the New York Yankees. I think it goes back to before Joe DiMaggio when the Yanks had Italian-American stars like Frankie Crosetti and Tony Lazzeri. One of my favorites, Yogi Berra, passed away just last month. His close friend and teammate Phil Rizzuto did play by play for the Yankees on radio and TV when I was growing up. Berra and Rizzuto co-owned our local bowling alley.

The White Sox were always identified as Chicago's "Irish" team.
The South Side neighborhood where Comiskey Park was built was very heavily Irish in the early years of the century.- You ever seen Superman $#$# his pants? Case closed.
