This Day In Sox History...July 19

[Lip Man 1]

July 19, 1946 - In a strange game at Boston, umpires “Red” Jones and Bill Summers ejected or sent to the clubhouse 12 White Sox players, a coach and the batting practice pitcher due to bench jockeying and criticizing calls.

In the third inning a high and tight pitch to Ted Williams resulted in a warning from umpire Jones to Sox pitcher Joe Haynes. Someone in the dugout yelled out, “Hey, meathead, what kind of call is that?”  resulting in ejections to Ralph Hodgin, Dario Lodigiani, Eddie Smith, Leo Jones and coach Ed “Bing” Miller.

The next inning after more comments, Jones ordered the nine remaining bench players to the clubhouse but they were eligible to be recalled to the field if needed. Players in the bullpen weren’t sent to the clubhouse. The nine people who were sent off were Johnny Rigney, Mike Tresh, Hal Trosky, Guy Curtwright, Eddie Lopat, Frank Whitman, Mizel “Whitey” Platt, Wally Moses and the batting practice pitcher.

Naturally Boston would go on to win the game 9-2.

 

July 19, 1960 - In a game at Comiskey Park, Luis Aparicio got an inside the park home run in the fourth inning off Boston’s Frank Sullivan. The play drove in three runs. It was Aparicio’s third inside the park home run in four years (1956-1960). The Sox won the game 6-0.

Aparicio’s first ‘regular’ home run came on May 28, 1956 off the Athletics Tommy Lasorda!

 

July 19, 1970 - Luis Aparicio Day was staged at Comiskey Park. The future Hall of Famer was praised for his many years of service in a pre-game ceremony. With the Sox in the middle of the worst season in franchise history, only 18,587 showed up on a rainy day for the double header with Baltimore. Aparicio would go 4 for 9 on the day as the Sox split the twin bill.

 

July 19, 2022 – White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson was the starter at that position for the American League at the All-Star Game in Los Angeles at Dodger Stadium. He became the first Sox player to start at that position in the game since Luis Aparicio did it in the 1970 contest in Cincinnati. Anderson was involved in some plays in the field and also recorded a single as the A.L. won 3-2 running their winning streak to nine in a row.

His teammate, Liam Hendriks, who saved the 2021 game in Denver for the A.L. came on in the eighth inning recording an out and being credited with a hold.

The 18,000+ that showed up for Luis Aparicio Day was more than likely one of the largest crowds of the year as the Sox only drew 495,000 for the season, just a horrible year as the Sox finished at 56-106.

Not necessarily impressed by Pedro, but too early to tell at this stage with a few months and a few good players at his disposal. The one area of improvement is actually trying to win ballgames with late inning substitutions you rarely saw under Tony. Also, if the increased focus and motivation continues, especially after the expected trade selloff, than that is a hell of a lot more than Tony ever mustered as the team quit on him after the Yermin incidents, with the Cornfield game while Tony was away attending a funeral in Florida the lone exception.

Would say Jerry Manual would be the modern day equivalent at this stage.
