THIS DATE IN WHITE SOX HISTORY: SEPT 10

[StatManDu]

1930: Rookie shortstop Luke Appling, destined for the Hall of Fame, made his Major League debut for the White Sox. Appling went 1-for-4 in a 6-2 loss to the Red Sox at Comiskey Park.

 

1967: Joel Horlen no-hit the Detroit Tigers in a 6-0 White Sox win in the first game of a doubleheader before 23,625 at Comiskey Park. Eddie Mathews reached on a Ken Boyer error but was erased on a double play and Bill Freehan was hit by a pitch for the only Tigers to get on against Horlen. Wayne Causey saved the “no-no” with a lunging grab of Jerry Lumpe’s ninth-inning grounder. The no-hitter was the last by a Sox pitcher at Old Comiskey Park. Cisco Carlos pitched a 4-0 shutout in Game 2, making this the last doubleheader shutout in club history. The sweep got the third-place Sox to within 1.5-games of first-place.

 

1988: Carlton Fisk made history and tied the game at the same time with his ninth inning homer but the White Sox could not finish off Minnesota in a 6-5 loss in 12 innings before 21,119 at Comiskey Park. Fisk’s ninth-inning homer knotted the game at five and was his 300th as a catcher. At that point, only Johnny Bench (327) and Yogi Berra (308) had more home runs as catchers. About two years later, Fisk would become the most prolific home run hitting catcher of all-time.

2005: We actually had a good team filled with players who gave a crap.
