| 1959 | At Memorial Stadium, two twenty-year-old Oriole hurlers throw complete-game shutouts in a twin bill sweep against the White Sox. Jack Fischer wins the opener 3-0, and Jerry Walker pitches 16 innings, beating the Pale Hose in the nightcap, 1-0. |
| 1975 | Not satisfied with the Yankees' offer, the White Sox withdraw their waivers on Tom Seaver, blocking New York's attempt to obtain the future Hall of Fame right-hander. The Bronx Bombers, 1½ games behind the Blue Jays and in need of pitching, also showed interest in the 13-10 hurler because the acquisition would help win the daily battle for media coverage in the Big Apple with the crosstown Mets, the team that considers the 40-year-old right-hander the 'Franchise.' |
| 2008 | With his sixth-inning double in the 3-2 loss to the Cubs, Cardinals' first baseman Albert Pujols becomes only the third player in history to drive in 100 runs during his first eight major league seasons. The two other big leaguers to reach the plateau are Red Sox outfielder Ted Williams, who also accomplished the feat for eight seasons from 1939-42, 46-49, and starting in 1924, fly-chaser Al Simmons did it for 11 years playing for the A's (9) and the White Sox (2). |
