Today In White Sox History - June 10th


June 10, 1961 - With owner Bill Veeck in ill health, his group sells the White Sox to Chicagoan Arthur Allyn, Jr.. Veeck only owned the club for two and a half years the first time around.

On the same day of the sale, the White Sox make an eight player deal that nets the team pitchers Ray Herbert, Don Larsen and infielder Andy Carey from Kansas City. One week later the Sox began a 12 game winning streak that saved the season. Herbert would then go on to win twenty games in 1962.
