Today in White Sox History: July 28
On this day 92 years ago, Bob Fothergill had the most productive offensive inning in White Sox history.1931
Two days after surrendering the most runs ever in a White Sox game (22 runs, which still holds today), the South Siders set their franchise record for the most runs ever scored in the eighth inning of a game by plating 11 runners to beat the Yankees, 14-12, at Yankee Stadium. They had 12 hits in the inning — an American League record — and four of the runs were unearned. Bob Fothergill packed the biggest punch in the frame, with a home run that drove in Lew Fonseca to trim the deficit to 12-6, and a triple to drive in Fonseca with what would stand as the game-winning RBI.
