August 4, 1920 - Roughly a month and a half before the Black Sox scandal broke, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson has the game of his life. Jackson drives home eight RBI’s in a 10 - 3 pounding of the Yankees at Comiskey Park.
August 4, 1985 - On the same day Rod Carew got his 3,000th hit in Anaheim, Sox pitcher Tom Seaver wins his 300th career game. Seaver beats the Yankees 4 - 1. He gets late inning defensive help when Harold Baines climbs the right field wall to rob Dave Winfield of an extra base hit with men on base. Seaver retired Don Baylor, on a fly to left for the final out of the game. The ball was caught by Reid Nichols.
August 4, 1992 - The White Sox set the franchise record by scoring nine runs in the 3rd inning of a game in Chicago against the Twins. Wilson Alvarez gets the win as the Sox won 19 - 11. George Bell had five RBI’s.
August 4, 1993 - After years of getting brush back pitches thrown at Sox hitters from Nolan Ryan, Robin Ventura snaps in the 3rd inning of a game in Texas and charges the mound. Ryan gets the better of the fight but Ventura and his teammates find strength from the brawl and use it during the stretch run which would lead to a divisional title.
August 4, 2000 - Carlton Fisk is inducted into the Baseball Hall Of Fame. Even though Fisk played more games and spent more years with the White Sox, he goes in wearing the colors of the Red Sox. Fisk explains to the Chicago media, that his choice in no way reflected any animosity towards White Sox fans but was based in part on his treatment by the organization and ownership.
