Today in White Sox History: July 5

1914
White Sox legend Ed Walsh made his season debut, having sat out all year with a strained arm. Seven straight years of throwing no fewer than 230 13 innings — including league-leading totals in four seasons and as many as 464 innings thrown in one year — had taken its toll. In fact, even the 1913 season was truncated by Walsh’s standards, as the 32-year-old could muster just 97 23 frames.

On this day, however, Walsh threw seven innings of three-hit ball in a 6-3 win over Cleveland.
