When it comes to home runs, the White Sox slugger could teach a clinic on the skill. He’s so good at hitting them that he is leading several lists.
With the home run he hit against the Cubs on Friday night, he set a new pinch-hitting record for the Sox.
According to Scott Merkin with MLB.com, that pinch-hit home run was his fourth of the season. With that two-run dinger, Palka now holds the single-season record for pinch-hit home runs.
And, he did it in his rookie year.
