If this was Paul Konerko's final at-bat as a White Sox player at soggy U.S. Cellular Field, it's safe to say he went out in grand style Sunday night.

But even Konerko, who hit a seventh-inning grand slam, was upstaged in one of the craziest and dramatic victories in franchise history.

Scott Podsednik, who didn't hit a home run in 507 regular-season at-bats, clubbed a homer off closer Brad Lidge with one out in the bottom of the ninth to give the Sox a 7-6 victory over Houston and a 2-0 lead in the World Series before a damp but delirious crowd of 41,432.
