Today in White Sox History: October 3
One year ago today, we said goodbye to Tony La Russa for the last time.1906
The White Sox clinched the pennant while ... sitting in their hotel room in Cleveland!
With the White Sox sitting at 91-56-3 and the trailing New York Highlanders at 87-60-4 and four games left, there was still hope for a pennant tie if Chicago lost out and New York swept its last four. However, the Highlanders split a doubleheader in Philadelphia, losing the second game, 3-0, in six innings, as the game was apparently called due to darkness.
That’s right, it appears the White Sox clinched their first World Series berth thanks to ... darkness!
