This Date In Sox History 9-4

[Lip Man 1]

September 4, 1995 - Robin Ventura hits a pair of grand slams in a 14 - 3 win over Texas. He’s the eight player in history to do so. His eight RBI’s in the game tie the franchise record held by Jim Spencer who did it twice during the 1977 season. Once against Cleveland and then a month later against Minnesota.

Also on September 4, 1960 a viral infection knocks Nellie Fox out
of the line-up for the first time since August of 1955. He played in 798
consecutive games, still the White Sox record, and 1,072 out of 1,073.
Billy Goodman takes his place this day, playing both games of a Sunday
doubleheader versus Detroit. Fox's absence from the line-up will have
repercussions three nights later.
