THE A.L.’S DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

1901: The American League declared itself a second Major League in a closed-door meeting in Chicago. The White Sox are joined by the Baltimore Orioles, the Philadelphia Athletics, Boston Somersets, Washington Nationals, Cleveland Blues, Detroit Tigers and Milwaukee Brewers as charter franchises. The league drafted a 140-game schedule and put Charles Comiskey rival Ban Johnson in charge.

 

SAVE FERRIS

1953: The White Sox traded first baseman Eddie Robinson, infielder Joe DeMaestri and outfielder Ed McGhee to Philadelphia for first baseman Ferris Fain and minor leaguer Bob Wilson. Fain was the reigning A.L. batting champion but he could not keep up that pace with the Sox, hitting .256 and.302 in his two years with the club.
