Except on this night: July 31, 1991 - The white hot White Sox capped off a sizzling month with one of the most dramatic moments in team history. The Sox trailed the Rangers 8-6 going into the bottom of the ninth inning. Texas brought in former Sox All Star pitcher Rich "Goose" Gossage to close things out. But the goose got cooked on this night as with two out, Robin Ventura hammered a grand slam into the right field stands winning the game 10-8. A full house, which included noted Cub fan Bill Murray sitting almost behind home plate, went wild as Ventura was bodily lifted off the ground by massive Frank Thomas in a celebration hug at home plate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBrown54 Posted June 14, 2019 Author Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) Yeah Cubs were stumbling back then, and Sox had captured the town's attention with rising stars, esp Frank, and that innaugural season at new Comiskey; I think it remains team attendance record for a season.
