White Sox: Daniel Palka setting records in his rookie season

When it comes to home runs, the White Sox slugger could teach a clinic on the skill. He’s so good at hitting them that he is leading several lists.

With the home run he hit against the Cubs on Friday night, he set a new pinch-hitting record for the Sox.

According to Scott Merkin with MLB.com, that pinch-hit home run was his fourth of the season. With that two-run dinger, Palka now holds the single-season record for pinch-hit home runs.

And, he did it in his rookie year.
