July 14, 2000 - Frank Thomas breaks Luke Appling’s team record
for most RBI when he drives in his 1,117th. It came at home in a
9 - 4 loss to the Cardinals. This was also the same game where
Cal Eldred left in the 5th inning with soreness in his forearm /
elbow which would require surgery. In the midst of a tremendous
first half of the season with seemingly all the pieces in place
for a run to a championship, Eldred’s injury, coupled with the
loss for a long period of time, of starter James Baldwin, forced
the Sox remaining pitchers into a heavier work load which caused
a rash of bad arms. Two pitchers, Mike Sirotka and Jim Parque
basically saw their careers ended by arm injuries suffered later
in 2000.

Is this the guy the team on North side of town was named after?

There are some interesting anecdotes involving Dummy Hoy in "The
Glory of Their Times," a baseball oral-history by Lawrence
Ritter. I highly recommend it; it gives insights into the
old-time players' personalities like no other book.

Carl Mays... a pitcher that very few liked before the Ray
Chapman incident, and who was universally despised afterward.
Mays had near-HOF stats but was never voted in because he was an
a-hole.

Fred Howard, relief pitcher, Chicago White Sox.
Who? Never heard of him?
Howard's only season in the major leagues was 1979. Called up in
late May, he started a few games before being sent to the
bullpen. He remained with the White Sox through September and
although he appeared on the Sox 40-man roster in 1980, he did
not make the team out of Spring Training.
Originally a product of the University of Maine, Fred Howard was
drafted by the White Sox in 1976. During this time, the Sox were
accumulating a collection of young pitchers, many of whom would
help lead the White Sox to a division title in 1983. However, in
the late 1970s, Howard was one of many trying to earn a spot on
the White Sox pitching staff. Some of his minor league
competition were fellow major leaguers Ross Baumgarten, Steve
Trout, Dave Frost, Britt Burns, Rich Dotson and LaMarr Hoyt.
This influx of talent did not prevent Howard from pitching well
in the minors and all of these pitchers made their major league
debuts about the same time. Howard's came on May 26, 1979
against the California Angels. He earned his win a couple of
weeks later against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Perhaps Howard's most infamous moment game on July 12th as the
starting pitcher of the first game of a doubleheader against the
Detroit Tigers. These games became noteworthy as they were part
of Disco Demolition Night. He also pitched in what would be
Thurman Munson's final game before a tragic plane crash a few
days later. He finished his only major league season 1-5 in 28
appearances with a respectable 3.57 ERA.
Howard pitched in the minors for a few more years in the early
1980s before giving up baseball for good. After his playing
days, Howard went to medical school, graduating from University
of Missouri, Columbia School of Medicine in 1996. He is
currently a surgeon at the Gessler Clinic in Winter Haven,
Florida.

1901 - Christy Mathewson of the New York Giants pitched his
first of two career no-hitters, beating the St. Louis Cardinals
5-0.
1969 - Cincinnati's Lee May hit four home runs in a doubleheader
split with the Atlanta Braves. May had two home runs and drove
in five runs in both games as the Reds lost the opener 9-8 but

1973 - Nolan Ryan of the California Angels struck out seventeen
batters and threw his second no-hitter of the year, beating
Detroit 6-0.

1990 - Chicago's Bobby Thigpen became quickest to reach thirty
saves in a season as the White Sox beat New York 8-5.
1997 - The San Francisco Giants scored thirteen runs to set a
modern National League record for runs in a seventh inning en

1999 - After 22 1/2 years in the dreary Kingdome, Seattle
finally played a home game outdoors, moving into a $517.6
million ballpark with a retractable roof. Jose Mesa wasted a

July 15, 1930 - White Sox infielder John Ryan, nicknamed
“Blondy”, becomes the first player in team history to belt a
home run in his first at bat in the major leagues. Ryan connects
against the Yankees at Comiskey Park. Unfortunately the White
Sox would lose that day 9 – 5.

July 15, 1963 - White Sox pitcher Gary Peters, on his way
towards being named Co-Rookie of the Year, throws a one hitter

hit. J.C. Martin and Tommy McCraw blast two run home runs for
the Sox. Peters would strike out 13 and would finish the year
with 19 wins.

July 15, 1994 – “Batgate” comes to Comiskey Park. In the first
inning of the game between the Cleveland Indians and the Chicago
White Sox, White Sox manager Gene Lamont was tipped off that
Indians batter Albert Belle was using a corked baseball bat.
Under the rules of Major League Baseball, a manager may
challenge one opponent's baseball bat per game. Lamont
challenged Belle's bat with umpire Dave Phillips, who
confiscated the bat and locked it in the umpires' dressing room.
Belle was allowed to continue on playing in the game using
another bat where he went 1 for 4 with two strikeouts in the
Indians 3 -2 win. The Indians knew that Belle's bat was corked.
So in order to try to keep Belle from being suspended, teammate
Jason Grimsley crawled through the air ducts and dropped into
the umpire’s room where the bat was being held for examination.
Grimsley replaced Belle’s bat with a Paul Sorrento model which
tipped off everyone to the switch. Belle wound up getting
suspended for ten games.
