Historical highlights of the Chicago White Sox on September 13
Summary

September 13 has marked several notable events in Chicago White Sox history, ranging from roster acquisitions to record-tying performances. In 1925, the team received pitcher Tommy Thomas in a trade that eventually proved significant to the rotation. Decades later in 1967, the White Sox secured a 1-0 shutout against Cleveland in a 17-inning game lasting over four hours. The franchise saw further action on this date in 1985 when Joe DeSa hit a pinch-hit grand slam in a 6-1 victory over Seattle. Two years later, Floyd Bannister pitched a one-hitter against the Mariners to earn a 2-0 win. In 1996, Frank Thomas recorded a home run at Boston, marking his 214th career blast to tie a franchise record. Beyond baseball, the team's home venue hosted a 2002 concert by the Rolling Stones.
