Cincinnati Reds vs Chicago White Sox
October 4, 1919 Box Score

The box score below is an accurate record of events for the baseball contest played on October 4, 1919 at Comiskey Park I. The Cincinnati Reds defeated the Chicago White Sox and the box score is "ready to surrender its truth to the knowing eye."

"Once more, luck favored the Reds. They would never have scored on (Ed) Cicotte if it hadn't been for his own two errors. Cincy didn't hit him half as hard as (Jimmy) Ring was hit. Cicotte threw his own game away. It was nothing but hard luck that beat the White Sox I don't believe that all the luck of the Series can be on one side." - Chicago White Sox Manager Kid Gleason

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."
