From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mark Buehrle has made seven Opening Day starts for the Chicago White Sox, including in 2009.

The Chicago White Sox are a Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise based in Chicago, Illinois. They play in the American League Central division. The White Sox have used 62 Opening Day starting pitchers since they began to play as a Major League team in 1901. The White Sox have a record of 57 wins and 52 losses in their Opening Day games.[1][2]

The White Sox have played in three different home ball parks. The played at South Side Park from 1901 through the middle of 1910, the first Comiskey Park from 1910 through 1990, and have played at the second Comiskey Park, now known as U.S. Cellular Field, since 1991. They had a record of four wins and two losses in Opening Day games at League Park, 18 wins and 19 losses at the first Comiskey Park and three wins and one loss at U.S. Cellular Field, for a total home record in Opening Day games of 25 wins and 22 losses.[1] Their record in Opening Day away games is 32 wins and 30 losses.[1][2] and 33 losses.[1][2]

Billy Pierce and Mark Buehrle ahre the record for having the most Opening Day starts for the White Sox, with seven. Wilbur Wood had five Opening Day starts for the Indians, Tommy Thomas and Jack McDowell each had four Opening Day starts, and Frank Smith, Jim Scott, Lefty Williams, Sad Sam Jones, Bill Dietrich, Gary Peters and Tommy John each had three. Several Baseball Hall of Famers have made Opening Day starts for the White Sox, including Ed Walsh, Red Faber, Ted Lyons, Early Wynn and Tom Seaver.[3]

The White Sox have played in the World Series five times. They won in 1906, 1917 and 2005, and lost in 1919 and 1959.[4] Frank Owen was the Opening Day starting pitcher in 1906, Williams in 1917 and 1919, Pierce in 1959 and Buehrle in 2005. The White Sox won all five Opening Day games in those seasons.[1][5][6][7][8][9]

In addition to being the White Sox' Opening Day starter in 1917 and 1919, Williams was also the Opening Day started in 1920.[10] However, he was suspended from the team later in the season and then banned from baseball for life for his role in throwing the 1919 World Series.[11][12][13] Ed Cicotte, who had been the White Sox' 1918 Opening Day starter, was also banned from baseball as a result of his actions in throwing the 1919 World Series.[14][11][13] Ken Brett's Opening Day start on April 7, 1977 against the Toronto Blue Jays was a historic game, as it was the first game in Blue Jay history.[15][16] The Blue Jays beat the White Sox in that game by a score of 9–5.[15]
