Michael Reaves/Getty Images The first two games have been downright ugly. The White Sox have mustered a measly one run and eight hits combined. The pitching was awful in game one and serviceable in the second contest. Some good news is that Jonathan Cannon tossed three scoreless frames last night for the Charlotte Knights in his rehab start, so hopefully, he’ll return to Chicago soon. As far as the offense goes, I’ve got nothing for you.

Chicago Tribune 1903It was a tale of two games. The first nine innings, played to a tie, was full of hitting and sloppy fielding (12 errors, six per team). The second nine, also played to a tie, featured a pitcher’s duel that ended in the dark. The White Sox and Highlanders (Yankees) played the longest game in American League history (and just shy of the MLB record set a year earlier between the Colts and Pirates), squeezing in 18 innings in fewer than four hours.

Colson Montgomery got the Knights on the board in the third with an RBI single, driving in Bryan Ramos. Charlotte's offense then went quiet until the top of the ninth when Korey Lee singled to lead off the inning.

Focus on Sport/Getty Images 1914In a telegram discovered in 2012, White Sox owner Charles Comiskey told scout George Mills that the asking price for pitcher Babe Ruth was too high at $16,000. At the time, Ruth was playing for the minor league Baltimore Orioles. Comiskey had sent Mills to scout the best Orioles players on June 9. Millsgave Comiskeya list of six players he thought were the best, with Ruth among them.
