THIS DATE IN WHITE SOX HISTORY: APRIL 29TH

 

SOX LEND REDS A HAND AND SOME CLOTHES

1913:

Wearing borrowed White Sox uniforms, the Cincinnati Reds lost to the Cubs 7-2 at Chicago’s West Side Grounds. After a game in St. Louis, the Reds’ trainers forgot to load the team’s uniforms on the train, prompting the wardrobe loan from the Sox.

 

KITTY ON THE ROOF

1984:

Ron Kittle blasted a roof shot home run added another roundtripper in the White Sox 6-4 win over Boston before 23,565 at Comiskey Park. Kittle victimized Al Nipper for the third “roofer" of his career, which tied him with Greg Luzinski for the all-time lead in that department. The Sox did all of their damage in the first and third innings with three runs in each frame. The Red Sox had the tying run at the plate in the ninth but Al Jones struck out Dwight Evans to earn his first career save.
