Chicago White Sox vs Cincinnati Reds
October 2, 1919 Box Score

The box score below is an accurate record of events for the baseball contest played on October 2, 1919 at Redland Field. The Cincinnati Reds defeated the Chicago White Sox and the box score is "ready to surrender its truth to the knowing eye."

"We outhit them nearly three to one, but the breaks of the game went against us. The Sox are far from out of the race. We have the greatest come back ballclub in the world and these two beatings will make my players fight all the harder to even it up -- (Lefty) Williams showed today that the Reds' hitting can be stopped. In the fourth he walked three men. The Reds victory was almost given to them on a platter. They got four hits. We got ten. We'll outhit them on the Series." - Chicago White Sox Manager Kid Gleasen

Fred Schwed, Jr., in How to Watch a Baseball Game (1957) wrote our favorite baseball box score quote, "The baseball box score is the pithiest form of written communication in America today. It is abbreviated history. It is two or three hours (the box score even gives that item to the minute) of complex activity, virtually inscribed on the head of a pin, yet no knowing reader suffers from eyestrain."
