1913<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The White Sox struck a deal with the Yankees for mercurial (and shady) first baseman Hal Chase<\/strong>. Chase played his way out of favor in New York and was given away for first baseman Babe Borton <\/strong>and infielder Rollie Zeider<\/strong>. Chase didn\u2019t do much with the White Sox, with subpar hitting and continued malfeasance, before jumping in 1914 to the Buffalo Buffeds of the upstart Federal League.<\/p>\n

While Chase largely evaded his potential on the ballfield, he did score one great success: Defeating Charles Comiskey <\/strong>in court, when the outraged White Sox owner filed an injunction to force him back to Chicago based on the reserve clause. The courts sided with Chase, and in retaliation, Comiskey shadow-barred Chase for ever returning to the American League (after the Federal League disbanded, Chase finished out his career with the Cincinnati Reds and New York Giants).<\/p>\n

\n

1914<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Talk about an impressive beginning to a baseball career: Future White Sox Hall-of-Famer Urban \u201cRed\u201d Faber<\/strong> started for the first time in the big leagues, going 12 1\u20443 innings in Detroit before losing, 2-1. Faber gave up 11 hits and walked seven Tigers, yet wiggled out of most jams. He didn\u2019t give up his first run until the 11th inning.<\/p>\n

\n

1918<\/strong>
\nChick Gandil<\/strong> stepped to the plate as the lead run with the bases full in the bottom of the eighth, with nobody out and trailing, 6-3, to the Yankees \u2014 and hit into a triple play! Gandil\u2019s line drive was pocketed by third baseman Home Run Baker, who started a 5-4-3 triple play.<\/p>\n

In his previous at-bat in the bottom of the sixth, Gandil had stepped to the plate with the sacks packed and hit into an inning-ending double play.<\/p>\n

Those were the only two double and triple plays of the game, and the two highest-leverage plays in the contest as well \u2014 adding to -70% WPA for Gandil.<\/p>\n

\n

1937<\/strong>
\nWhite Sox pitcher Bill \u201cBullfrog\u201d Dietrich<\/strong> hurled a no-hitter at the expense of the St. Louis Browns. He won the game, played in Comiskey Park, 8-0, with the game taking fewer than two hours to play. Dietrich got run support from both Mike Kreevich <\/strong>and Dixie Walker<\/strong>, who each knocked in three runs on the afternoon. Dietrich walked two and struck out five.<\/p>\n

First baseman Zeke Bonura<\/strong> saved the no-hitter with two leaping catches of line drives in the game.<\/p>\n

Back in 2012, larry wrote in detail about this improbable no-hitter.<\/p>\n

\n

1985<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Carlton Fisk<\/strong> slammed his fifth home run in four games, hitting a two-run shot off of Kansas City\u2019s Bret Saberhagen in a game the White Sox won, 8-7. Fisk drove in 12 runs in that stretch, and served notice that 1985 was going to be his best year in a Chicago uniform. He\u2019d finish the year with 37 homers and 107 RBIs \u2014 both career highs. He also was named to the All-Star team that year, for the third time in a White Sox uniform.<\/p>\n

\n

2010<\/strong><\/h4>\n

With a stolen base in the sixth inning of a 9-6 loss to the Texas Rangers, Omar Vizquel<\/strong> became just the fourth player in MLB history to steal a base in four decades, joining Ted Williams, Rickey Henderson and Tim Raines<\/strong>. Vizquel had singled to get on base, and finished the day 2-for-4 with two runs scored and a walk while starting at third base in the loss.<\/p>\n

\n

2016<\/strong><\/h4>\n

It had been 50 years since a White Sox pitcher had this happen: In the top of the 13th inning in New York against the Mets, relief pitcher Matt Albers<\/strong> led off with a ringing double to left-center, the first extra-base hit of his career. He\u2019d eventually come around to score the game-winning run, thanks to a sacrifice fly from Jos\u00e9 Abreu<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Sox won the game, 2-1, with Albers throwing two innings to get the win. The last time a White Sox pitcher scored the game-winning run and got the win in extra innings was Bob Locker<\/strong> against the Angels on Aug. 7, 1966. The Sox won that game in 10 innings, 9-8.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
