October 6, 1905 - The Sox lose the pennant on the next to last day of the season when pitcher Guy"Doc" White can’t beat the bottom feeding St. Louis Browns. White and the Sox lose 6 - 2 which hands the flag to the Philadelphia Athletics. The Sox would finish the season two games off the pace.
October 6, 1908 - The Sox lose the pennant on the last day of the season whenTy Cobband Detroit win the decisive game 7 - 0. Guy "Doc" White again was the pitcher of record, only this time he may have had an excuse. He was working on two day’s rest having beaten the Tigers 3 - 1 on October 4th.
October 6, 1909 - Architect Zachary Taylor Davis submits his design for a new ballpark on the South Side to owner Charles Comiskey.
October 6, 1959- At the mammoth L.A. Coliseum, which was the temporary home of the Dodgers, the White Sox play "small ball" in Game #5 of the World Series. They beat Sandy Koufax 1 - 0 to stay alive, cutting L.A.’s lead to three games to two. The only Sox run scores on a double play ground ball but it turns out to be enough. The Sox become the first team in World Series history to have three pitchers combine for a shut out (Bob Shaw, Billy Pierce, Dick Donovan). Alas the Dodgers mangle the Sox in Game #6 to win the series four games to two. (Some of the Sox who played in that series, Pierce, Jim Landis and Shaw talk about their memories of it in their interviews with White Sox Interactive.)
October 6, 2000 - Another dramatic and fantastic season is ruined as the Sox fall apart and lose the divisional series in three straight games to the Mariners. The M’s clinch the series despite a heroic effort from pitcher James Baldwin. ‘JB,’ pitching with a bad arm, holds the Mariners to one run on three hits in six innings. Seattle scores the series clinching run in the 2 - 1 win on a suicide squeeze from Carlos Guillen in the 9th inning. Replays showed him clearly out of the batters box on the bunt attempt, but Sox manager Jerry Manuel never protested the play. During the series, the Sox run their home post season losing streak to nine games in a row, dating back to the 1959 World Series. The all time big league record for home post season futility is ten straight, set by the Phillies.
