April 11, 1917 - The World Championship season began in St. Louis where the Sox beat up the Browns 7 - 2. Claude ‘‘Lefty’’ Williams picked up the win. Just slightly over six months later, the Sox would win the World Series again, four games to two, over John McGraw and the New York Giants.
April 11, 1969 - The White Sox initiate major league baseball to Seattle. They are the first home opponent for the ‘new’ Seattle Pilots. The Sox promptly roll over and die to the expansion team 7 - 0.
April 11, 1982 - When the ‘great blizzard’ hit the Midwest and forced cancellation of a number of games, the Sox had to open on the road the following week... in New York... with a double header. No problem, as the franchise which had already won an opening day twin bill in 1971, put the wood to the Yankees winning 7 - 6 in twelve innings and then 2 - 0. It was the start of an eight game winning streak to open the 1982 campaign, the best start of a season in franchise history.
April 11, 2000 - For a man with no speed he got around the bases fast enough this time! Paul Konerko hits an inside the park home run against Tampa Bay. It came in the first inning off Esteban Yan and drove in two runs. The Sox won 13 - 6.
