"Vern Kennedy pitched the first no-hitter in the history of Comiskey Park (08-31-1935), striking out Vosmik to end the game as the White Sox beat the Indians 5-0. Kennedy, who lettered ten times in sports at Central Missouri Teachers' College in Warrensburg, also provided the offense as he cleared the bases with a three-run triple. Things weren't all that good for the South Siders though, as they were only treading water at 62-60 and stood an imposing 17 1/2 games behind the indomitable Tigers." - Author Doug Feldman in September Streak: The 1935 Chicago Cubs Chase the Pennant (Mcfarland Publishing, July 2003, Page 157)
