9/1/1947 - Leading by 8
With a 15-11 month the White Sox now hold an 8 game lead over both the Washington Senators and Detroit Tigers. We are in good position, but I'm still a little nervous. We've definitely been a different team since the trade. Although Perez is hitting .272 since joining us, and we're still pitching fine. I think our hot start was just catching up to us, but I'll feel a lot better when we clinch.
Jack Easton was named the Pitcher of the Month after going 4-0 with a 1.64 ERA. Todd Hollandsworth's string of Rookie of the Month awards has come to an end as Bud Metheny of the Browns won the award this month.
Two players reached 2000 career hits, our new addition Salvador Perez, and Dom DiMaggio of the Red Sox. 43 year old Kal Daniels of the Giants hit his 300th home run.
