May 30, 1960 - In game 2 of a Memorial Day doubleheader,
Cleveland outfielder Jimmy Piersall, who would become a White
Sox announcer in the 70's and early 80's, goes on a rampage
against the scoreboard and Comiskey Park. Piersall started by
throwing the contents of the Indians' dugout on to the field.
Then he went into the White Sox dugout grabbing a bucket of
groundskeeper Gene Bossard’s sand and dumped that on the field.
Piersall then didn’t move when a ball hit by Minnie Minoso came
right at him. It went over his head for a double and adding
insult to injury, the Sox thought it was a home run and set off
the scoreboard! Finally after making the game ending catch,
Piersall threw the ball at Bill Veeck's new $300K exploding
scoreboard. Piersall's crazed antics had no negative effect on
his teammates as they swept the doubleheader against the White
Sox.

Nice old photo of a Red Sox & White Sox game at Comiskey Park on
August 23, 1957.
That's Billy Pierce making the between innings warmup pitches to
catcher Sherm Lollar while Ted Williams is studying Bill's
pitches in the top of the 6th inning. Ted's 'timing' antics
didn't work this time as Billy struck him out and went on to
pick up another complete game and his 17th win of the season as
the White Sox beat the Red Sox 4 - 1 before 24,178 on a Friday
night.
Box+PBP of this game:

Note: This was three seasons before Bill Veeck turned the old
scoreboard into an 'exploding' one.

May 31, 1970 - On a Sunday afternoon at Fenway Park, a
twenty-four hit attacked helped the White Sox put up 'crooked
numbers' in four separate innings as they beat the Red Sox 22 -
13. Walt 'No Neck' Williams and Luis Aparicio each had five
hits. Bill Melton led the way with 4 RBI as the White Sox handed
a loss to an old teammate, the former 1963 ROY hurler Gary
Peters. Floyd Weaver picked up the win in relief for the White
Sox.

May 31, 1914 - At Comiskey Park, three fourth-inning White Sox
errors ruin the shutout, but Joseph Benz still no-hits the Naps
(Indians), 6-1. It only take the right-hander known as 'Blitzen'
one hour and 45 minutes to accomplish the deed.

Hmmm, it certainly follows logically from what I quoted from
BlackSox, but upon pretending I didn't know what I was referring
to, the reference wasn't so readily available upon googling. It
is doable though, but yeah, a bit obscure.

The late '50s home jerseys were zippered too:

A one-liner from three days and a dozen posts ago? Isn't that
overestimating the mental capacity of your audience? And by
that, I mean me, as a majority of the others here have probably
enabled some kind of "Ignore" function on you.
