1900
White Sox player-manager Dick Padden was clubbed over the head with a bat during a fight in the third inning at Detroit. The fracas started with the White Sox up, 4-2, after an uncalled balk by Chicago pitcher Chauncey Fisher that was then reversed under protest by the Tigers, scoring a run for Detroit. That in turn got the ire of Padden, to no avail.
After the arguments and consultation of the rule book, Padden returned to his position at second base as play resumed, but was getting cussed out by Detroit outfielder Ducky Holmes â who wasnât playing in the game, and not even in uniform! Padden threw a punch at Holmes and missed, and in the ensuing melee a Detroit player crowned Padden with a blow from a bat.
Once things calmed again and play was to resume, Detroit manager George Stallings stormed onto the field with a policeman, demanding Padden be arrested; he was laughed off by all involved, and the White Sox prevailed in the game, 7-3.

With a 10-4 win in the Bronx, the White Sox snapped pitcher Hank Borowyâs 11-game winning streak, which had dated back to Aug. 16, 1943. After a quiet first three frames, the White Sox exploded for seven runs over the next three frames. All of the runs were charged to Borowy, and the three earned runs were as many as he had given up all year to that point!

Thurman Tucker was a particular thorn in Borowyâs side, doubling twice off of the starter and having an overall afternoon of 4-for-5 with two runs and three RBIs.
1953
White Sox pitcher Tommy Byrne, who was knocked out of the game in an eventual win against the Yankees two days earlier, was sent up to pinch-hit for Vern Stephens in the ninth inning with the bases loaded and the Sox trailing, 3-1. Byrne, with just one career grand slam to Stephensâ 10 at the time, slammed a 2-2 pitch from Ewell âThe Whipâ Blackwell into the lower deck in right field at Yankee Stadium, for the only pinch-hit grand slam by a pitcher in team history! The Sox won the game, 5-3, scoring all of their runs in the ninth inning.
That was the only home run Byrnehit that year for the White Sox, although he totalled 14 in his big-league career.

1978
With the White Sox a dismal 9-20 and owner Bill Veeck knowing that there was no way he was going to be able to re-sign him after the season, slugger Bobby Bonds was traded to the Texas Rangers for Claudell Washington and Rusty Torres.
Bonds only played in 26 games for the Sox, with two home runs and eight RBIs. Making matters worse was that Bonds was acquired the previous December for three players, including future All-Star Brian Downing.
Washington would become the target of fan displeasure because of his tendency to take it easy on the field while with the team. One fan made up a banner, hung over the right field wall, expressing that sentiment: âWashington slept here.â
1984
Carlton Fisk had one of his finest games, as he became the third player in franchise history to hit for the cycle in a game. It came against the Royals at Comiskey Park.
Despite Fiskâs efforts, the Sox lost, 7-6. Carlton went 4-for-5 with two runs and two RBIs in the game.
Per Baseball-Reference, as Fisk hit his only triple of the season as part of this cycle, he joined Pittsburghâs Bill Salkeld as the only catcher of the century to hit the only triple of his season as part of a cycle.
