Got Your Number

Last night's barrage of four home runs got me thinking about four-baggers that the White Sox hit in the Cell, so I went over to Baseball-Reference.com and started playing around with some of the research tools on the site. (Warning: Don't try this at home, kids. I am what President Bush might call a trained stunt player-arounder.) Anyway, I found out that:
  • The Sox have hit four dingers in a game 54 times since leaving Old Comiskey.
  • Their longest streak of games at the Cell since 1991 with at least one Big Fly is 23 games (starting May 13, 2004), while the longest with more than one is seven games (July 10, 1998).
  • Their longest dry spell at the Cell for multi-tater games is 56 games (May 9, 1998), while the longest they've gone without touching 'em all is a mere six games (July 16, 1992).

Enough about round-trippers, now back to work. Go Sox!
