Plus, Fred is using one of those little kid bats.
hahah, yeah, I could get five hits and 10 RBI with one of those
Flintstone bats. Pretty sure I did, in WIFFLE® ball, and more
than once.
I'm not so sure I'm so keen on these "Studio" cards either.

Pete knocked out 3 hits and scored 2 runs in a 10-8 White Sox
win over Detroit, May 24, 1975.
And really, that's about it. . other than As a historical
footnote, the "Big Fella" caught the two-point conversion that
tied the 1968 edition of "The Game," the famous Harvard-Yale
match up that ended in a tie, but was considered by some as a
win up at Harvard, to the point of the Crimson proclaiming at
the time "Harvard Beats Yale 29–29."

Today In White Sox History - June 30th

June 30, 1988 - After years of saying that the original Comiskey
Park was outdated, Sox owners Jerry Reinsdorf and Eddie Einhorn
come very close to moving the team to the Tampa Bay / St.
Petersburg, Florida area. Legislators from the State of
Illinois narrowly approved a proposal for a new state-financed
stadium and a lease deal that would save the team $60 million
and kept the White Sox from moving to St. Petersburg, Florida.
St. Petersburg has begun construction on an $80 million domed
stadium. The State Senate in Springfield passed the stadium bill
by a 30-26 vote about 20 minutes before midnight, then sent it
on to the General Assembly, where Gov. James Thompson was
involved in political maneuvering on the last day the
Legislature was in session.
The money for the ball park, would come from a 2 percent city
hotel-motel tax, estimated to be worth at least $8 million a
year. The city would add $5 million annually in revenue-sharing
funds, and the state would contribute $5 million in hotel-motel
tax revenues.
Meanwhile Florida baseball fans are stunned as they realize they
have been used as a pawn to get a new facility by the power
brokers and politicians of Chicago.

June 30, 2008 - White Sox outfielder Nick Swisher becomes only
the 2nd player in franchise history to homer from both sides of
the plate twice in the same season when he hits two in a 9 – 7
win over Cleveland. Swisher did it the first time a few weeks
earlier in a game against the Twins. Only Jose Valentin had ever
done that before and he did it three times between 2000 and
2003.

On June 30 in Baseball History...
1903 - At Chicago‚ the White Sox jump on Boston starter Nick
Altrock for 8 runs in the 1st inning. Chicago has 7 hits and 3
walks. Altrock finishes the game‚ a 10-3 Chicago win‚ for his
only complete game in a Boston uniform. Chicago must like what
they see: they purchase Altrock on July 2nd.
1908 - Cy Young's third career no-hitter is an 8-0 Boston win
over New York. At 41 years and three months, he is the oldest
pitcher to turn the no-hit trick. Nolan Ryan will beat him in
1990 at the age of 43.
1920 - The White Sox swamp the Tigers 14-0 on 18 hits. Detroit
tosses in the towel after 4 innings and pitching coach Jack
Coombs‚ who last toed a rubber two years ago‚ tosses the last
five innings. He allows just 2 runs. Red Faber allows five hits
in the shut out‚ while Eddie Collins has four hits‚ three runs‚
and two steals.
1922 - Brooklyn and Boston play 9 innings in one hour: 12
minutes‚ with Boston winning 3-2. Neither pitcher‚ Leon Cadore
or Dana Fillingim‚ record a strikeout or walk a man‚ and neither
catcher‚ DeBerry and Gowdy have a putout or assist‚ though each
have passed balls.
1927 - Alphonse "Tommy" Thomas pitches a 5-1 win over the
Browns‚ the 6th time this season that the White Sox pitcher has
beaten St. Louis. He last beat them on June 22. Lefty Stewart‚
who gives up a homer to Earl Sheely in the 6th‚ takes the loss.
1934 - In a 4-3‚ 10-inning loss to the Browns‚ Tiger CF Gee
Walker is picked off base twice on the same play‚ earning him a
10-day suspension for his ineptitude. After Hank Greenberg
singles‚ Walker reaches base on a error‚ but then gets caught
off base when C Rollie Hemsley fires to 1B. Greenberg attempts
to draw a throw by running to 3B and is thrown out‚ with Walker
taking 2B. Moments later‚ with Walker standing 6 feet off the
bag "as brave as a boy on a burning deck" (writer Charles P.
Ward's description)‚ pitcher Jack Knott's throw to SS Alan
Strange nabs him. Cochrane is so furious he suspends Walker and
fines him $20-the 6th time this season that has earned a $20
fine. Gee's next appearance won't come until July 16 when he
pinch hits for Cochrane.
1948 - In his first full season as a pitcher‚ Bob Lemon of the
Cleveland Indians pitches a no-hitter‚ beating the Detroit
Tigers 2-0 in front of 49‚628 at Briggs Stadium. Lemon has only
two scares: Dale Mitchell makes a miraculous catch of a George
Kell drive in the 4th and Ken Keltner makes a great stop behind
3B in the 5th. This is the first no-hitter pitched at night.
1949 - In Chicago‚ Ruth Ann Steinhagen is arraigned for shooting
Eddie Waitkus. Waitkus‚ in a wheel chair‚ testifies at the
hearing. A jury finds her criminally insane and by early
afternoon she is on her way to Kankakee State mental hospital.
She'll remain there till April 17‚ 1952. The attack on Waitkus
was the real-life inspiration for Bernard Malamud's The Natural.
1950 - St. Louis Browns stalwart P Ned Garver loses the game
because of his mental error against the White Sox. In what would
have been the winning run in regulation‚ Garver is called out
for his failure to touch 3B when rounding it. He loses 3-2 in 13
innings.
1959 - In Chicago, two balls are in play at the same time. On a
wild pitch from pitcher Bob Anderson, Stan Musial draws a walk.
As the pitch gets by catcher Sammy Taylor, Musial tries for
second base. Umpire Vic Delmore puts another ball in play by
mistake. Taylor promptly throws the ball into center field.
Third baseman Al Dark, who chased down the original ball, throws
to shortstop Ernie Banks, who tags out a confused Musial. After
a 10-minute conference, the umpires agree that Musial is out.
Delmore will be fired because of the boner.
1962 - With the aid of 13 strikeouts and a Frank Howard home
run, Sandy Koufax no-hits Bob Miller and the Mets 5-0 in Los
Angeles.
1970 - A sellout crowd of 51,050 is on hand for the dedication
of Cincinnati's Riverfront Stadium, but Hank Aaron spoils the
show as he hits the park's first home run. The Braves win 8-2.
1978 - Larry Doby becomes the second black major league manager,
replacing Bob Lemon as skipper of the White Sox. Chicago has a
34-40 record at the time, and will go 37-50 the rest of the way.
1988 - Alarmed by the White Sox' threatened move to St.
Petersburg, Florida, lawmakers in Illinois grant state subsidies
for a new stadium to replace venerable but decaying Comiskey
Park.
1993 - No mas. 70-year-old Minnie Minoso‚ signed by Mike Veeck‚
appears as a DH for the St. Paul Saints in a game against
Thunder Bay in the independent Northern League. Minoso grounds
back to pitcher Yoshi Seo in his only at bat.
1994 - Giants center fielder Darren Lewis commits his first
major league error to break his record of 392 flawless games in
the outfield.
1995 - Eddie Murray collects his 3,000th career hit against
Minnesota's Mike Trombley in a 4-1 Cleveland win at the
Metrodome. The Indians slugger is the 20th player to reach the
milestone and the third in franchise history to do it wearing a
Cleveland uniform.
1999 - The Blue Jays defeat the Orioles‚ 10-9 in 10 innings‚ as
Willie Greene ties an AL record by hitting a PH HR in 2
consecutive at bats. His previous pinch HR came against the
Royals on June 20th. Greene's HR in the bottom of the 9th ties
the score at 7-7. The Orioles score 2 in the top half of the
10th‚ but the Blue Jays come back with 3 runs in their half of
the inning to win.
2005 - The Rangers pound the Angels‚ 18-5‚ as Kevin Mench hits 3
HRs in 3 successive innings and drives home 5 runs. He's just
the 8th major leaguer to hit three in three straight innings.
The last was Shea Hillenbrand‚ in 2003.
2006 - Trailing by 3 runs, the Reds defeat the Indians, 9-8, on
Adam Dunn’s walkoff grand slam with 2 outs in the 9th inning.
Dunn’s ultimate slam, off Bob Wickman, is just the 15th in ML
history.
