StatManDu Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 THIS DATE IN SOX HISTORY: JUNE 8/IT'S ALL ABOUT MILWAUKEE For the rest of the day see, WWW.WHITESOXALMANAC.COM 1969: The White Sox acquired pitcher Gary Bell from the Seattle Pilots for reliever Bob Locker. This was the first and only trade the White Sox would make with the Pilots, who moved from Seattle to Milwaukee right before the 1970 season. 1970: The White Sox played their first game in Milwaukee against the Brewers and lost 5-2. The Sox were no strangers to Milwaukee, though. The Sox played a handful of “home games” in Milwaukee in 1968 and 1969. 1979: Outfielder Wayne Nordhagen pitched a scoreless inning in the White Sox 6-0 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers before 13,713 at Comiskey Park. Nordhagen induced Cecil Cooper to ground into a double play and retired Sal Bando in his second big league pitching appearance in a week.
