Many players have played on both sides of Chicago's crosstown rivalry. None of them accomplished what Mike Tauchman did during the White Sox's 12-5 rout of the Cubs last night.
He made Crosstown Classic history when he took former White Sox pitcher Chris Flexen deep for a two-run homer in the fourth inning.
Tauchman became the first former hitter to switch sides in the rivalry to homer off of a former pitcher who did the same.
This was the first home run ever hit by an ex-Cubs batter (Tauchman) off an ex-White Sox pitcher (Flexen), or vice-versa, in a matchup of the two Chicago teams
