1942

Ted Lyons wins his 250th career game, 6-5, over the Red Sox. A week later, he will beat the Yankees Red Ruffing to match that hurler’s 251 career wins. The White Sox veteran will finish the season with 20 complete games in 20 starts, lead the AL with a 2.10 ERA, then enter the Marines at age 42.
