Some things are apparently more important than baseball. Like college lacrosse.
In a âTeam of the Decadeâ online poll hosted by the Chicago Tribune, the Northwestern womenâs lacrosse team soundly defeated the 2005 World Series winner Chicago White Sox.
For those who donât follow the sport (no, I donât either), the Wildcat lacrosse team has won five of the last national Division I titles. I guess they are that good.
They won with 57 percent of the vote in the poll compared to the White Soxâ 36 percent. Rumor has it there was a little âballot-stuffingâ by fans of the lacrosse team.
"Our fans wanted it bad, I guess," (lacrosse Coach) Amonte Hiller said with a laugh.
Itâs tempting to take a jab at the Sox for losing out to a bunch of girls but a) those âgirlsâ worked hard and really deserved it b) the 2003 Cubs barely got 1% in the poll and most importantly, c) it just a stupid poll.
