On this day in 1959, Early Wynn threw a one hitter while striking out fourteen Boston Red Sox batters at Comiskey Park in Chicago, Illinois.
Early helped his own cause by hitting a home run leading off the eighth inning, that led to a 1-0 White Sox winner. The 39 year old Wynn would go on to win 300 games in his career and would be selected to the Hall of Fame in 1972.
