| A homer by Jorge Orta in the 15th inning brought the White Sox an 8-7 victory over the Athletics in a four-hour, 51-minute game that produced two major league records for lavish use of players. The A's called on 30 performers, sweeping the entire bench clean, to break the former mark of 27 players used by the Twins in a 12-inning game September 29, 1970. The White Sox employed 21 players and the two-club total of 51 surpassed the former record of 49 by the Twins and Royals, also September 29, 1970. [The Sporting News] |
