StatManDu Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 THIS DATE IN WHITE SOX HISTORY: OCTOBER 30 For more, see www.whitesoxalmanac.com 1967: Owner Arthur Allyn announced the White Sox will play nine games in Milwaukee in 1968 in hopes of bolstering sagging attendance. Some felt, though, this was paving the franchise’s way for a move to Milwaukee, which had been without Major League Baseball since the Braves bolted for Atlanta following the 1965 season. The White Sox became the first American League team to play regular season games outside its own city since 1905. The Sox went 1-8 in 1968 and 7-4 in 1969 while entertaining Milwaukee fans to at least one game against each American League team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
