On this day in history, Red Faber retired after 20 seasons, holding the team's record for wins. Just 50 years later, Bill Veeck exercised his option to purchase the White Sox from Dorothy Comiskey. In 1964, shortstop Luke Appling finally secured a spot in Cooperstown via a runoff election.
Faber, often overlooked, amassed 254 wins and ranks as the greatest hurler in franchise history. Appling, after 16 tries, secured the necessary 75% support on his second ballot with a landslide 90.4% vote.
