cwsox Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 1922 — Charlie Robertson of the Chicago White Sox (news) pitched a 2-0 perfect game against the Detroit Tigers (news). Always good to remember our history, thanks Steff! There were few highlights Sox-wise in 1922 to say the least. That was about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
