September 3, 200718 yr THIS DATE IN WHITE SOX HISTORY: SEPT 2ND/A COUPLE OF BOs For the rest of the day, see WWW.WHITESOXALMANAC.COM 1986: Steve Carlton pitched his best game with the White Sox in a 3-0 win over the Royals in Kansas City. The Sox survived the Major League debut of the Royals’ Bo Jackson, who was 1-for-3 and singled to second off Carlton in his first at bat. In the seventh, Jackson almost grounded into a triple play but beat the throw to first after the Sox got outs at third and second. Carlton, in his fifth start with the Sox, fired eight innings and struck out three in improving to 3-2. 1991: Bo Jackson and Roberto Hernandez each made their White Sox debuts in a 5-1 win over the Kansas City Royals before 37,187 at Comiskey Park. Hernandez started the game and carried a no-hitter into the seventh in getting the victory while Jackson, trying to overcome a hip injury, collected an RBI single. Frank Thomas’ homer in the fourth inning was his 30th of the season, making him just the eighth player in Sox history to reach that plateau (11th time). Dan Pasqua's homer in the fourth inning was the 100th of his career.
