Today in White Sox History: May 20
An amazing highlight from the heavy-hitting White Sox career of Earl Sheely began on this day, 99 years ago.1920
At Griffith Stadium in Washington, the White Sox set the team record for the most runs ever scored in an extra inning. In the 16th inning, they were able to score eight times to beat the Senators, 13-5. The Senators made nine errors on the day, leading to nine unearned runs. Hall of Fame pitcher Red Faber worked all 16 innings, allowing 18 hits, three earned runs — and faced 64 batters!
This game was also the start of a streak of three straight games where the White Sox scored 10 or more runs and knocked 15 or more hits. At the time, only five teams had ever accomplished this.
