Today in White Sox History: July 1
1905 White Sox pitcher Frank Owen won both games of a doubleheader at St. Louis, 3-2 and 2-0. In both games he went the distance, and only allowed the Browns seven total hits for the afternoon. It was the first time in American League history that this milestone was accomplished, and Owen remains one of only 10 […]
White Sox win first road series since May with 9-3 beatdown in Baltimore
In back-to-back nights, the offense scored eight or more runs while the pitching staff maintained its command, as the White Sox secured their first road series win since the May 1 series in San Diego after beating the Orioles, 9-3. His ERA didn’t improve much (4.41), but Erick Fedde was solid enough tonight to earn […]
White Sox Minor League Update: June 30, 2026
Memphis Redbirds 10, Charlotte Knights 5The Knights (44-38) faceplanted out of the gate. Dustin Harris tried to set the tone with a solo shot to open the game, but that lead was gone and fast. Mason Adams got shelled for five runs in the bottom of the first, then two more in the second, and […]
Game Thread: White Sox (44-39) at Orioles (39-47)
For a team that has struggled on the road, the White Sox managed a commanding victory in Monday’s opener in Baltimore, and they will look to snag the series with a win tonight. At present, the Good Guys have a one-game lead in the AL Central, and picking up any games in the race would […]
Today in White Sox History: June 30
1911 In his 22nd and final years in the majors, Cy Young pitched his final game against the White Sox, an 8-1 loss. The 44-year-old came into the game with a 506-307 career record, but was jumped on for three runs in the first and knocked out of the box in the fifth, during a […]
Late surge lifts White Sox past Orioles, 8-2
The White Sox (44-39) kicked off the road trip by stomping the Orioles, 8-2, busting a tie wide open with six runs in the final two frames. The bats got the glory late, but this was a pitchers’ duel with Sean Burke and Shane Baz trading blows. Chicago had Baz sweating early in the first […]
Game Thread: White Sox (43-39) at Orioles (39-46)
The White Sox are back at it after a week that went their way, snagging four wins in six tries. Now comes the real test — a three-game set with the Orioles, then straight into Cleveland for four. The catch? The Sox are allergic to road games. Their .375 road winning percentage is dead last […]

1968 In an eventual 5-2 win over the White Sox, Detroit’s Jim Northrup hit is third grand slam in the space of a week. Cisco Carlos took a 2-1 lead into the third inning, but Northrup struck, finishing off all the scoring for the game. Northrup had achieved the rare feat of hitting two grand […]
White Sox Minor League Update: June 28, 2026
Rochester Red Wings 9, Charlotte Knights 4Charlotte’s pitching started rough and ended the same way, surrendering five runs to the Red Wings (49-30) in the final two innings, giving the Knights (44-37) both the game and series loss. The offense wasn’t much better for the Good Guys, who only managed to get three hits compared […]
No walk-off this time, as White Sox get crowned by Royals, 5-4
The White Sox and Royals played two games this afternoon, but squeezed them both into nine innings. For the first 3 1/2 innings, it looked like the game would last until roughly Thursday and end up 46-44. For the next 5 1/2, both relief staffs did really good Mark Buehrle imitations, so the game ended […]
Game Thread: Royals (34-50) at White Sox (43-38)
Fresh off their seventh walk-off win of the year, which followed the second-biggest win margin in team history, the White Sox try to sweep the Royals out of the palace this afternoon and send them back to Kansas City, where the song says everything is up to date, but the baseball team isn’t. Facing a […]
Trapped by a summer of belief
William Blake probably wasn’t a baseball fan. The Romantic poet of mystical prophecy, of beautiful and terrible visions, died in 1827, well before he could write about a magnificent dinger, and probably couldn’t even in his wildest fire-breathing fantasies conceive of Shohei Ohtani (though given that he believed all of the human species was essentially […]

1941 White Sox infielder Don Kolloway became the second White Sox player to steal second, third and home in the same inning. Kolloway pulled this off in Cleveland as part of a 6-4 Sox win. His base-stealing feat took place in the ninth inning. He also homered twice — his first two career major league home runs — and is the […]
White Sox Minor League Update: June 27, 2026
Rochester Red Wings 3, Charlotte Knights 1The Knights (44-36) scored one early in the bottom of the first but weren’t able to scratch another across, losing to the Red Wings (48-30), 3-1. Dru Baker led off the first with a double (his first of three hits on the day) and scored just a couple of […]
White Sox outlast pitcher’s duel with a 2-1 walk-off in the ninth
Tristan Peters. Colson Montgomery. Miguel Vargas. Edgar Quero. Braden Montgomery. Sam Antonacci. What do they all have in common? They’ve recorded walk-off RBIs for the Chicago White Sox this season. And Jacob Gonzalez has added his name to this elusive list in today’s 2-1 win! Naturally, after scoring 22 runs on Friday night, we were […]
Game Thread: Royals (34-49) at White Sox (42-38)
This afternoon’s ballgame marks the halfway point of the 2026 season: Game 81. Coming off a performance the Chicago White Sox haven’t seen since 1970, we also haven’t seen such an exciting and winning franchise on the South Side for five years, though at times it feels like it’s been five decades (2005 and 1983 […]
The Three-Headed Firemen vs. the Golden Handcuffs — aka, the White Sox bullpen
Let’s start with a brief history of relief pitching. For the first 60ish years of this great sport, starting pitchers were expected to throw until their arms exploded into a fine pink mist. From there, relievers began gaining more acceptance in incremental bursts until 1969. That was the year the save was invented as a […]

1910 The White Sox lost the final game played at their original ballpark, South Side Park III (39th Street Grounds). Cleveland knocked them off, 7-2, in front of just 4,300 fans. Just four days later, the White Sox returned home to unveil The Baseball Palace of the World, Comiskey Park. They lost that game as […]
White Sox embarrass Royals, 22-1, in home run royale
It’s not every day you see your favorite team score 10 runs in a game. It’s even more rare to see them score 10 runs in a single inning, but that’s what the Chicago White Sox did Friday night. In a rare game that was over by the end of the third inning, the White […]
White Sox Minor League Update: June 26, 2026
Rochester Red Wings 6, Charlotte Knights 2After pummeling Rochester a couple of nights ago, Charlotte decided it was only fair that the Red Wings get a couple of jabs in, too. Nolan Jones carried the team, producing both of Charlotte’s runs. He started with an RBI double plated in the fifth, and followed up with […]
Game Thread: Royals (34-48) at White Sox (41-38)
A weird and wacky season has continued for the Chicago White Sox, and only time will tell how this upcoming series with the lowly Kansas City Royals will play out. On the surface, the South Siders should be able to roll over Kansas City and at least take the series. With that being said, this […]
The White Sox are winning, but I’m still not fully bought in
By now, it seems everyone has jumped on the White Sox hype train but me. It’s not easy being alone on my island as an overly cautious person who is hesitant to believe the Sox have truly blossomed into the AL Central leader. While I’ve gone out of my way to buy tickets to their […]

1916 In a game in Cleveland, the White Sox became the first team to ever have names sewn on to the backs of the uniforms. Knowing who was playing didn’t help them, though; they were shut out, 2-0, on the afternoon. (The White Sox returned to the idea of names on the back of road […]
