July 17, 1959 - It was a pitcher's duel for the ages and one of the key games in the 1959 season. The Sox were in New York and before over 42,000 fans, Ralph Terry and Early Wynn hooked up in a classic. After eight innings Terry had no-hit the Sox...Wynn allowed the Yankees one hit. In the top of the 9th, the Sox scored two runs thanks to Jim Landis' bases loaded hit. Wynn closed down New York in the last of the frame and the Sox had a 2 - 0 win.

July 17, 1989 - In a game at Comiskey Park against the Yankees, Carlton Fisk notches his 2,000th career hit. He'd have three for the evening in a Sox 7 - 3 win.
