Today in White Sox History: April 10
Carlton Fisk returned to Boston in 1981 and delivered for his new (White) Sox.1959
The season opener to a memorable, pennant-winning year started in Detroit where Billy Pierce faced Jim Bunning. The Sox blew a 7-4 lead when the Tigers got three runs in the eighth inning, and matters weren’t decided until the 14th. That’s when Nellie Fox, who hit home runs as often as he struck out, blasted a two-run shot to give the Sox the 9-7 win. Fox went 5-for-7 and knocked in three runs that afternoon, despite freezing temperatures.
