Beating Detroit 6-1, Ed Walsh wins his 40th game of the season, a win total that remains a White Sox single-season record. ‘Big Ed’, a right-hander from Meriden, CT, will finish his 14-year Hall of Fame career with a 195-126 record, and sets the all-time ERA mark with an earned run average of 1.82.

The Indians trade fan-favorite Minnie Minoso with Dick Brown, Don Ferrarese, and Jake Striker to the White Sox for Norm Cash, Bubba Phillips, and John Romano. The 34-year-old outfielder will play in every game for Chicago next season, leading the American League in hits (184) and stolen bases (13) while collecting a Gold Glove for his defensive play in left field.

July 1, 1962

In the second game of a doubleheader sweep of the Indians, the White Sox (Juan Pizarro, Nellie Fox and Al Smith) become the first team in major league history to record three run-scoring sacrifice flies in one inning. Three fly balls to Gene Green, two of which are dropped by the Cleveland right fielder, set up the unprecedented occurrence.

One thing that escaped me about the whole Black Sox scandal until now was that was Kid Gleason’s first year as manager.  What a start
