This day in 1941, the White Sox pasted the Yankees 13-1. Quite an impressive feat, considering this Yankees team would go on to finish 101-53 and win the World Series.
Lefty Eddie Smith, plucked off waivers from the Philadelphia Athletics in 1939, went the distance scattering nine hits for the White Sox. The offensive stars for the Sox included second baseman and leadoff man Bill Knickerbocker (4 for 5, HR, 3 RBI), right fielder Taffy Wright (2 for 5, HR, 4 RBI) and left fielder Myril Hoag (4 for 5, double, RBI). Eight of the 13 White Sox runs came in the 7th inning or later.
