Appling also enjoyed a club-record 27-game hitting streak, which ended on this date. "Old Aches and Pains," as he was known, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1964. |

Pat Seerey was a one-man wrecking crew for one game on July 18 at Philadelphia's Shibe Park. The portly left fielder became the only White Sox player to hit four home runs in a game, a 12-11, 11-inning Chicago victory. Seerey dented the roof twice, cleared it once and punctuated the day with a game-winning blast in the 11th inning. |
