Jermaine Dye drove in the first run of the World Series for the Chicago White Sox, and the last. From start to finish, he certainly was the most valuable player. Dye's two-out RBI single off Brad Lidge in the eighth inning snapped a scoreless tie and sent Chicago to its first championship since 1917 with a 1-0 victory over the Houston Astros on Wednesday night. The scrappy White Sox polished off a four-game sweep thanks in no small part to their big right fielder, who went 7-for-16 (.438) with a home run and three RBI to earn MVP honors. He even scored three times and walked twice. It was a much better performance than his first trip to the World Series. As a rookie with the Atlanta Braves in 1996, Dye was 2-for-17 (.118) with one RBI in a loss to the New York Yankees.
