May 20, 1973 - A Sunday afternoon doubleheader vs. the Minnesota Twins drew the largest crowd in Comiskey Park history, 55,555 for a Bat-Day promotion.  Bill Melton & Carlos May each hit home runs and Wilbur Wood pitched a complete game as the White Sox won game one 9-3.  The Twins shut-out the White Sox 3-0 in the nite-cap.

A Wee JohnJeter and JohnJeter the Maternal-Side Elder Male were in attendance for this. Sat WAY back in the left field upperdeck on the CF side, about as far away from home plate as was possible. Pretty sure it was a Dick Allen bat (kinda had to be right?), and a full-sized one (a "28" if I recall). To this day, have never used it once. If only I could find it in JohnJeter the Maternal-Side Elders' Attic.

Goes without saying that, since this was Comiskey Park, there were countless clubbing deaths and injuries.
