This Day In Sox History...May 10

[Lip Man 1]

May 10, 1910 – Sox third baseman Bill Purtell became the first big league player to strike out twice in the same inning. Walter Johnson got him both times in the sixth inning in a game at Washington. Between Purtell’s outs, the Sox batted around and wound up winning the game 10-3.

 

May 10, 2002 - It was one of the worst defeats in the history of the franchise. On this night in Anaheim the Sox got obliterated 19-0 against the Angels. Danny Wright, Matt Ginter and Mike Porzio were the pitchers the Angels clubbed apart. Wright gave up eight earned runs, Ginter two and Porzio six.

Batting around on arguably the greatest pitcher of all time. Pretty sweet!
