StatManDu Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 THIS DATE IN WHITE SOX HISTORY: JULY 6TH For the rest of this date, see www.whitesoxalmanac.com 1974: Bart Johnson made a sensational season debut in the White Sox 3-1 win at Detroit. The lanky right-hander went the distance, gave up two hits and struck out nine in outdueling Mickey Lolich. Johnson gave up a single to start the ninth but then got three consecutive pop outs to finish off the Tigers. 1982: Harold Baines clubbed three consecutive homers and Dennis Lamp fired a five-hit shutout in a 7-0 win over the Detroit Tigers before 24,018 at Comiskey Park. Among the homers in Baines’ first career three-dinger game was a grand slam. The win pushed the Sox into a third-place tie in the American League West. Twelve days later in Detroit, Lamp would whitewash the Tigers again. 1998: Ray Durham made his All-Star debut in the American League’s 13-8 victory at Coors Field in Denver. Durham entered the game in the ninth as a pinch-hitter and singled off Rob Nen in becoming the first White Sox switch-hitter to hit safely in an All-Star Game. He later scored on Rafael Palmeiro’s single. Durham joined Cass Michaels, Nellie Fox and Jorge Orta as White Sox All-Star second basemen and Ted Lyons and Early Wynn as White Sox switch-hitters to make the All-Star team.
