June 6, 201114 yr THE FRANK BAUMANN SHOW! 1961: Frank Baumann fired a seven-hitter and went 3-for-4 with a double, a steal – the first by a White Sox pitcher in six seasons -- and three RBIs in the White Sox 8-0 win over Detroit before 17,166 at Comiskey Park. The Sox gave Baumann an early lead thanks to RBIs by Jim Landis and Sherm Lollar in the second. Baumann drove in a run in the fourth and two in the seventh. Baumann’s steal in the sixth inning was the first by a Sox pitcher since Billy Pierce accomplished the feat Sept. 10, 1955 at New York.
June 6, 201114 yr As I recall Bauman was a pretty decent hitter. Though he was no Gary Peters. Now that I think about it it's be nice if Rios or Dunn would have that kind of day at the plate. Edited June 6, 201114 yr by BigEdWalsh
