August 20, 1965: Interesting musical date in Sox-related history. The White Sox traveled to KC and shut down the A's 3-1 behind the masterful pitching of Gary Peters. The only run allowed was a solo shot off the bat of Ken Harrelson, but Gary drove in a run himself to make up for it. Back in Chicago, The Beatles were hosting a day-night DH at Comiskey Park. Before a mostly female wildly screaming combined throng of over 50,000 fans, the Fab Four played a matinee and evening set of their hits of the day. Not surprisingly, they gave up touring the following August having tired of the utter madness and not being able to hear themselves play.
There was not a more popular, awe-inspiring band in our lifetimes.
