===Chicago White Sox===
The [[Chicago White Sox]] are another rival, dating back to the 1959 season, when the Sox slipped past the Indians to win the AL pennant. The rivalry intensified when both clubs were moved to the newly created AL Central in 1994. During that season, the two teams challenged for the division title, with the Indians one game back of Chicago when the season ended in August due to the players' strike.  During a game in Chicago, the White Sox confiscated [[Albert Belle]]'s [[corked bat]], followed by an attempt by Indians pitcher [[Jason Grimsley]] to crawl through the [[Comiskey Park II|Comiskey Park]] clubhouse ceiling to retrieve it. Belle later signed with the White Sox in 1997, adding additional intensity to the rivalry. In 2005, the White Sox led the division by 15 games in July, only to see the Indians trim the lead to a single game late in the season.  However, the White Sox swept a three-game series to end the season to win the division by six games; the Sox later won that year's World Series.

On August 5, 2023, Cleveland third baseman [[José Ramírez (infielder)|José Ramírez]] and Chicago shortstop [[Tim Anderson (baseball)|Tim Anderson]] instigated a [[bench-clearing brawl]] after Anderson applied a tag to Ramírez.  Anderson then attempted to punch Ramírez, after which Ramírez wound up knocking Anderson to the ground with a right hook.  Anderson and Ramírez were suspended five and two games, respectively, for their roles in the brawl.
