. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Immediate rescheduling of the previous night's postponed game backfired on the White Sox, who drew only 511 paid and lost to the Red Sox, 10-1. Cloudy weather with a threat of rain and temperatures in the 40s also helped to hold down the crowd. The White Sox committed six errors. [The Sporting News]
