Today In White Sox History - August 22nd





 

August 22, 1968 - After walking on a 3-2 count which included pitches sailing over his head to the backstop and a ball being thrown behind him, Dick McAuliffe charges the mound and drives his knee into White Sox hurler Tommy John causing the pitcher’s shoulder to separate. Tommy John (10-5, 1.98) will be lost for the rest of the season and the Tiger’ shortstop is suspended for five games and fined $250 by AL president Joe Cronin as a result of the bench-clearing incident.
