Three notations today:

July 26, 1916 – Facing just 28 batters in the game, Eddie Cicotte fired a one-hitter in defeating the Yankees, 2-0, at Comiskey Park. Two batters plays kept the game from perfection. In the fourth, Cicotte walked Les Nunamaker, but he was erased when Ray Schalk caught him stealing to end the frame.

Then in the top of the fifth, Wally Pipp broke up the no-hitter with a single, then got caught off of first base for a pickoff — only Cicotte made an error on his throw and allowed Pipp to get to second base.

Eddie Collins had an RBI triple in the first inning for the White Sox , with ”Shoeless” Joe Jackson adding an RBI single in the fifth.

July 26, 1942 – 17-year-old Chuck Comiskey was being groomed to take over the team and his passions boiled over on this afternoon. In the first game against the Athletics at Comiskey Park, umpire John Quinn kicked out Sox manager Jimmy Dykes for arguing an interference call. Don Kolloway was ruled to have run into a batted ball in fair territory in the eighth inning. That brought the young Comiskey out on the field to continue the argument. Sox fans roared their approval over his pluck. It turned out he also was ejected by Quinn. The Sox would win that game 2-1 before losing the second one 3-2 in 10 innings.

July 26, 1987 - Sox starter Rich Dotson, who had already thrown a one-hitter and lost in Baltimore in 1983, had a perfect game for over seven innings against the Yankees at Comiskey Park and a 2-0 lead.

That however all went out the window when Mike Pagliarulo singled.

Before the frame was over, Dotson got tagged with three runs and would eventually lose the game 5-2.

The key blow was struck by future Sox outfielder Dan Pasqua who had a pinch-hit three run homer in that frame.

July 26, 1942 – 17-year-old Chuck Comiskey was being groomed to take over the team.

I always think of both Chuck Comiskey and Muggsy Halas and what could have been if they stuck around.
