Lip Man 1 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 March 11, 1968 - Sox rookie pitcher Cisco Carlos was part of the cover shot for Sports Illustrated. The caption read, “The Best Rookies of 1968.” Unfortunately, Carlos didn’t turn out to be one of them, either in the short term or the long one. In fact, of the five players on the cover only Johnny Bench (top row middle) and Mike Torrez (bottom left) made a name for themselves in the sport. In two and a half seasons with the club Carlos went 10-17. His best pitching performance came on September 14, 1967 at Comiskey Park, when in the middle of a pennant race, he shut out Cleveland on five hits over 10 innings winning 4-0.
