"1909 In the second inning of the opener of a doubleheader at South Side Park, Washington's Dolly Gray set two major league records against the White Sox: He walked eight batters in the inning, and seven of them consecutive. Patsy Dougherty led off the inning with a single, and No. 5 hitter Frank Isbell either sacrificed Doughtery to second or made an out (game play-by-play isn't available). And then, the parade of walks - from No. 6 hitter Lee Tannehill all the way back through the order to Doughtery - began."
"The second time Doughtery went to bat, with six straight walks already in the books, White Sox manager Billy Sullivan suggested Doughtery leave his bat in the dugout. The White Sox won, 6-4, with only Doughtery's single hit. Gray's one-hitter came with 11 additional walks, so there was still a lot of traffic on the bases!"
"1936 With a 2-for-3 effort in a White Sox win over the Senators, 6-5, Luke Appling set the mark for longest franchise hitting streak, at 23 games. Appling had tapped out 30 hits in those 23 games, batting .337 with a .427 on-base and .888 OPS. The shortstop broke Eddie Collins ' previous mark of 22 games. Appling would hit safely in four more games, and his 27-game hit streak would remain tops in team annals for 68 years, when Carlos Lee bettered him by one game and set the current team mark of 28."
In 1909 Washington's Dolly Gray walked eight batters in one inning, seven consecutively, allowing the White Sox to score six runs all via walks. Patsy Dougherty had the only hit for the White Sox in the game, and manager Billy Sullivan suggested Dougherty leave his bat in the dugout; Gray's one-hitter included 11 walks. In 1936 Luke Appling compiled a 23-game hitting streak with 30 hits, a .337 average, .427 on-base and .888 OPS, breaking Eddie Collins' 22-game mark; Appling extended to a 27-game streak that stood as the franchise record for 68 years until Carlos Lee's 28. In 1938 rainouts forced six consecutive doubleheaders on six consecutive days, August 23-28, all on the road.
