It’s rare that all of the relievers from an old game are instantly memorable while one of the starters is lost to my memory, but that is the case here as ChiSox starter Dan Wright left no imprint. All the other pitchers, including of course Indians starter CC Sabathia, are memorable; I can even picture their deliveries, or at least a false memory of them.
Magglio Ordonez and Ellis Burks were the offensive heroes for each side; Ordonez hit a two-run homer in the first. In between, Burks’ two-run double in the third and two-run homer in the fifth gave Cleveland the lead. The White Sox tied it with two in the sixth, an inning in which Ordonez grounded out with the bases loaded to draw to a close, but he would lead off the ninth with a go-ahead homer off Bob Wickman.
The teams combined for three sacrifice bunts, which is two more than the White Sox would lay down in the “entire” 2020 season.
