September 17 in Chicago White Sox History Playoff Clinches in 1983 2020

1906
Future white SOX star and Hall-of-Famer Eddie Collins made his MLB debut, against the White Sox – as Eddie Sullivan!

Collins played Semipro Baseball while he still went to Yale University, so he played under the name ‘Sullivan’. But Connie Mack loved what he saw from the young Infielder and signed him up for his Philadelphia Athletics. Collins started at ShortStop, hit sixth and scored a shock single from Ed Walsh In the first half of the second inning for his first major League hit.

The Rookie hit 1-out-4 with two strikeouts in the game, which the As lost, 5-4, in 11 innings. The tension of the game – with the White Sox only a match for the New York Highlanders for the pennant, and Philly in third place – contributed to a sloppy game, such as the clubs combined for 10 errors in the game (six for Chicago), including fumbles through both starting pitchers.

President Harry Truman and his wife Bess were frequent fans at Athletics Games, and after the game Rivera and teammate ended George needs Were outside the stadium when they noticed a crowd. They walked over and discovered that it was the former president. Rivera asked him where his wife was, and Truman said she was in the backseat of the car. So Rivera leaned forward and suggested by saying: “I am sure that my home runs your club, but it was a Helluva wallop eh, Bess?”

Rain had saved the waving White Sox on September 13 and postponed a final of a series against the running Tigers, who were first closed in a Chicago match. The makeup match was pressed four days later on an off-day Monday, and the rest (and a three-game sweep from Minnesota) had done the White Sox well. The South Siders took a 5-4 victory to return to three games on Detroit.
