StatManDu Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 THIS DATE IN WHITE SOX HISTORY: JUNE 18/TAKE THAT CUBS AND YANKS For more, see www.whitesoxalmanac.com 1997: For the second consecutive day, the White Sox sold out their game with the Cubs and for the second straight game, the White Sox prevailed. Wilson Alvarez blanked the Cubs on four hits in the Sox 3-0 triumph before 44,204 on the Southside. Alvarez allowed just one batter to reach second base as the Sox took two of three from their crosstown rivals. Dave Martinez homered for the second consecutive game. 2000: The White Sox took the suspense out of a historic win over the Yankees before 52,856 in New York early. The White Sox scored nine runs in the first inning, capped by Jose Valentin’s grand slam, in decimating the Yankees 17-4. The nine runs marked the Sox highest scoring first inning since 1962 and sent the club on its way to its seventh straight win overall and its 11 consecutive road win. The victory also enabled the White Sox to finish their road trip through Cleveland and New York 7-0. Thelast 10 of the road wins were accomplished against teams .500 or better marking the first time since 1900 that feat had been accomplished, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
