Historical highlights for the White Sox on August 31

Summary

August 31 has marked several notable moments in White Sox franchise history, spanning from 1926 to 2023. Ray Morehart recorded nine hits across a 1926 doubleheader against Detroit, while Vern Kennedy threw a no-hitter against Cleveland in 1935. In 1993, Tim Raines homered from both sides of the plate during an 11-3 win at Yankee Stadium, a game that also saw Frank Thomas reach 100 career home runs. Management turnover occurred in 1970 when Ed Short was fired, and again in 2023 following the appointment of Chris Getz as general manager. These events reflect a century of personnel transitions and individual player achievements within the organization.
