October 23, 2005 - Game #2 of the World Series ended in an unexpected and dramatic fashion as outfielder Scott Podsednik blasted a walk off home run after the Astros scored two runs in the ninth inning to tie the game.

The shot, off Houston’s Brad Lidge, ended the game in a 7-6 White Sox win at U.S. Cellular Field. They now had a two-game lead in the best of seven series.

Earlier, with the Sox losing 4-2, Paul Konerko drilled the first pitch he saw for a grand slam in the seventh inning, turning the game and perhaps the series around.

 

October 23, 2012 – After one of the worst seasons in a century of Major League baseball, Adam Dunn, the White Sox primary DH, was named the American League winner of the Comeback Player of the Year award by The Sporting News.  Dunn bounced back to hit 41 home runs and drive in 96 RBI’s for the Sox who contended for the divisional crown until the final week of the season.

The previous year he only hit 11 home runs with 42 RBI’s and had a batting average of .159.
