Al Lopez Ghost (old) Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 July 1st is a significant date in White Sox history. The real Comiskey Park opened on July 1, 1910. And on the last July 1st of that ballpark's life, Andy Hawkins lost a complete game no-hitter against the Sox, when the sun and the wind caused Jim Leyritz in left to drop a seventh inning Robin Ventura liner, allowing 3 runs, Sosa, Ozzie and Lance Johnson, to score. Later the right fielder, Jesse Barfield, was also charged with a run scoring error on a similar, but easier, play. Sox went out 123 in the eighth, to finish with 4 runs on no hits. It was one of the most exciting moments in Sox history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
