Today in White Sox History: September 26
1905
In a doubleheader at Boston, White Sox pitcher Ed Walsh relieved starter Doc White in the first inning of the first game without warming up, gave up five runs in the frame, but shut out the Red Sox for the next eight innings to win, 10-5. White then started and won the nightcap, 3-1. White didn’t retire a batter in the opener, so Walsh got credit for a pair of complete games.
It was the second time in 1905 that a White Sox pitcher accomplished this ironman feat, as back on July 1 Frank Owen won two complete games in a doubleheader sweep of the St. Louis Browns.
1936
