When the Sox shut out the Tigers at Guaranteed Rate Field 3-0 it was win number 2,764 in his Hall of Fame career. That put him second on the all-time list surpassing John McGraw. In the postgame press conference LaRussa mentioned the fact that his career started in Chicago and that now as he passed McGraw it also happened in Chicago, 42 seasons later.June 6, 2024 – The 2024 season saw the White Sox set, seemingly every other day, a new record for futility. On this day after the Red Sox hammered them 14-2 at Guaranteed Rate Field, the White Sox set the franchise record with 14 consecutive losses. It broke the mark of 13 set in August 1924. Boston pounded out 24 hits, six for extra bases in the rout. But incredibly the mark wouldn’t last two months!
