Today in White Sox History: September 22

In the first inning of a 6-3 win against the Yankees, Eddie Collins tapped an infield single to shortstop and became the first White Sox player ever with a hitting streak of 20 games. Collins would be held hitless in five at-bats tomorrow, snapping his streak.

Over the 20 games Collins hit .464, which remains the highest batting average among the 20 different 20-plus game streaks in White Sox history. (Collins’ .543 on-base percentage during the streak also is the highest among all the 20-game streaks in White Sox history.)

Collins would end up holding the first three White Sox hit streaks of 19-plus games, including a 22-game streak in August-September 1920.
