Historical highlights of the Chicago White Sox on September 8
Summary

September 8 has served as a milestone date in Chicago White Sox history, spanning from the franchise's inaugural season to modern individual performances. In 1901, the team secured a walk-off victory against Boston at South Side Park on a late single by Billy Hoy. Later in the 20th century, the club saw both notable departures and statistical feats, including Al Worthington leaving the team in 1960 and Early Wynn earning his 299th career win in 1962. In 1993, rookie Jason Bere matched a club record by striking out 13 batters during a win over Boston. More recently, in 2022, Yoán Moncada recorded his second five-RBI performance of the season in a victory against Oakland. The date also marks a period of significant attendance milestones, with the club surpassing two million fans for consecutive seasons during the 1980s.
