Nowadays it may seem strange that sports teams were forbidden on Sunday to play, but this was a controversial step of athletics, and one that they apparently regretted, no other Sunday matches planning in the immediate future and earning scolds and threats from preachers and Philly Burgemeester Freeland Kendrick both. Only in 1933 did the legislative power of Pennsylvania vote to allow the baseball on Sunday.
The A’s Beat the White Sox, 3-2, for 12,000 fans on this upcoming, “Unholy Sunday.”

While the banks cleaned up, Mcauliffe and John struggled on the hill, and the knee of Mcauliffe hit John’s shoulder so hard that it sent John to the injured list, lost for the year. He was 10-5, with an ERA of 1.98, when he was injured. Mcauliffe was suspended for only five games.
1980
White SOx owner Bill Veeck agreed to sell the team to Edward Debartolo, a multi -millionaire who invented the contemporary shopping center in Ohio. Debartolo would eventually be voted twice by the other competition owners, because of speculation about his possible association with Gobsters and his recognized horse races. Only after that second rejection was a path that was opened before Jerry Reinsdorf And Eddie Einhorn (who had made the second bid) to buy the team.
The White Sox were actually a side issue for the two final new owners: Einhorn was part of a group that tried the San Diego Padresand Reinsdorf was part of a group who tried the New York Mets. Debartolo eventually bought the San Francisco 49ersLet his son run the franchise and won several super bowls.
1985
The Blue Jays-White Sox series in Comiskey Park was filled with milestones of home runs, including a roof shot of Harold Baines and very first roofwriting in back-to-back games (from George Bell).

2001
After Ray Durham distracted the game with a home run and José Canseco single in Carlos Lee For another run in the first, the White Sox might have thought it would be an easy game in 51-75 Kansas City.

During the next four innings, De Witte Sox peeled the shortage to three, at 8-5 and then made a murderous blow and eight-run sixth inning. After Royce Clayton gave the first way by sacrificing runners to the second and thirds, Josh Paul (RBI Single), Durham (RBI Double) and Lee (Two-RBI Single) gave the White Sox a 9-8 lead by Doug Henry that they would not give up.
The RBI single in Clayton’s second AT-Bat of the inning, giving the White Sox a 13-8 lead, turned out to be crucial when Carlos Beltrán turned off a Grand Slam from Bob Howry In the seventh inning to draw KC within one – but that ended for the game.

2020
It seemed as if every day during the season -colored season something that record measurement happened for the White Sox. On this date against the Cubs on Wigley Field, José Abbreu Wrote his name in the record books by Homing in three straight battle rates and rode in four points in a 7-4 victory. He became the 15th player in team history to Homer three times or more in one game.
In the night, ABreu hit 4-out-4 with three points scored. Abreu had already searched twice in a Friday evening and would add a solo shot on Sunday afternoon, giving him six round tripers in the three-game set-the first time that a SOX player had ever done it.
And Abreu’s Thuis Run Sunday would come in his first start and give him four in a row over those two days. He became the 15th player in team history to Homer three times or more in one game. Abreu’s great offensive production in the 60-game season would give him the 2020 already MVP.
2023
After a failed rebuild in which the team won only two playoff matches during two performances (2020-21) and with presence and fan interests that fell from a cliff, owner Jerry Reinsdorf dismissed Executive Vice President Ken Williams and GM Rick Hahn.
Reinsdorf, hatred of making serious changes and loyal to a mistake, seemed to have no choice, because the team – is expected to compete for several championships – fell apart into one of the worst clubs in baseball.
Williams was in his 11th season as an Executive VP with the SOX after serving 12 seasons as general manager of the club. The SOX won the 2005 World Series Under his guidance as GM.
Hahn had served as GM for the past 11 seasons, so that the SOX led consecutive Postseason appearances in 2020 to successive postseason (Wild Card) and as 2021 Al Central Champions, but those were the only two winning seasons that the franchise had under his guidance.
