Today in White Sox History: June 12

The White Sox traded relief pitcher Eddie Fisher to the Orioles for infielder Jerry Adair. Fisher was an All-Star in 1965 and the Fireman of the Year, but the Sox had incredible bullpen depth thanks to the anchor, Hoyt Wilhelm and up-and-coming pitcher Bob Locker, along with Dennis Higgins.

1967

The White Sox played the longest-ever losing game when they dropped a 6-5 decision to the Senators in Washington, in 22 innings. Both teams scored a run in the 10th, then didn’t score again until Washington’s Paul Casanova drove home the winner in the last of the 22nd.
