The Chicago White Sox staved off history on Tuesday with a win over the Los Angeles Angels, preventing them from passing the 1969 New York Mets for most losses in a season since 1900.
During the top of the fifth inning, Angels centerfielder Mickey Moniak popped the ball up near the pitcher's mound where White Sox pitcher Jonathan Cannon and teammates all converged, yet none made a proper attempt to catch it.
The White Sox scored the game-tying run in the eighth inning on a poorly played shallow fly ball dropped by the Angels, showcasing the unpredictable moments of baseball.
Despite securing the win, the White Sox's embarrassing moments, like the dropped pop-up during crucial innings, certainly overshadowed their rare victory.
