In 1922, rookie pitcher Charlie Robertson made headlines by throwing a perfect game against the Detroit Tigers, helping the White Sox secure a 2-0 victory. The game took only 1 hour and 55 minutes, with Robertson striking out six batters. Earl Sheely scored both runs in the second inning. Despite accusations from the Tigers, led by Ty Cobb, that Robertson doctored the ball, his performance solidified his position as a remarkable talent, though his overall career with the White Sox later saw him struggle with a losing record.
Robertson's perfect game against the Tigers was remarkable not only for its efficiency, lasting just under two hours, but also for the few hard-hit balls allowed.
Despite being accused of doctoring the ball by opposing players, including the infamous Ty Cobb, Robertson’s perfect game showcased his pitching mastery against a formidable lineup.
