The article outlines pivotal historical moments for the Chicago White Sox across multiple decades. The 1900 season marked their first game in the American League, despite its unofficial status as a minor league. In 1938, Hank Greenberg made headlines by hitting a home run onto the Comiskey Park roof, becoming one of only four players to do so. The White Sox also faced a critical moment in 1987 when they halted the Milwaukee Brewers' record start, and in 1991, they celebrated their first thrilling victory in the newly opened Comiskey II.
The 1900 season isn't officially recognized by baseball because the American League wasn't yet considered a part of organized baseball, instead designated as a minor league.
Hank Greenberg became just the fourth player to homer onto the Comiskey Park roof in its 12 years, following Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Jimmy Foxx.
The White Sox snapped Milwaukee's MLB record-tying 13-0 start to the season, winning 7-1, while Ozzie Guillén shined with both a double and a triple.
After two losses to open their new ballpark, the White Sox won their first game at Comiskey II, thrillingly reversing their fortunes in the ninth inning.
