Baseball Almanac fan Lindy Rowland, who was 5 at the time, was present at Comiskey Park on July 20, 1963 and witnessed the White Sox beat the Red Sox 3 to 0. It was her first Major League baseball game and there just happened to be a solar eclipse during the game as well!
Did you know that you can order an "original" print copy of this same box score from Baseball Almanac? The print source might be USA Today Baseball Weekly, The Sporting News, New York Times, Cleveland Plain Dealer, or other similar sources. Regardless, it will look great framed on your wall.
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."
