1960 – Chicago’s pennant hopes are damaged with a nitecap 7 – 6 loss to the Tigers, after they win the opener, 8 – 4. Pinch-hitter Norm Cash scores the decisive run in the second game. Cash thus ends his year by grounding into no double plays, the first American Leaguer to do this since league records on this were started in 1940. Teammate Dick McAuliffe and Roger Repoz will duplicate this in 1968.
