The Sox opened a season at the Oakland Coliseum with a unique doubleheader sweep against the Athletics in 1971, hitting five home runs, including a grand slam by Bill Melton, and Bill May's memorable 'triple' due to missing home plate after what could have been a homer.
In 1972, a White Sox-Athletics game was halted by curfew after 17 innings and resumed the next day, resulting in a 19-inning defeat for the Sox, ending with Joe Rudi's two-run homer.
