  • Eight Decades Later, Robertson Has Perfect Partner in White Sox History
    Eight decades later, Robertson has perfect partner in White Sox history By Paul Ladewski Posted on Monday, July 27th For 87 years, Charlie Robertson had a rather lonely existence in local baseball annals. In 1922, he had become the first and last White Sox pitcher to author a perfect game, a feat achieved so long ago that his name had withered into relative obscurity since then. Only after Mark Buehrle pitched a similar gem last week did Robertson finally have a partner and he became relevant again. So who was this person forever linked with Buehrle in White Sox history? And what is his story? Charles Culbertson Robertson was born on Jan. 31, 1896, in Dexter, Tex., a speck on the map about 100 miles north of Dallas. In 1919, after three years at Austin College in nearby Sherman, Tex. he signed with the White Sox at 23 years of age. The 6-foot, 175-pound right-hander made his major league debut that season, and he spent the next two campaigns in the minor leagues. Prior to the 1922 campaign, White Sox pitcher Dickey Kerr walked out on the team in a salary dispute. One year after Eddie Cicotte and Lefty Williams were suspended for their parts in the Black Sox scandal, the absence of Kerr left the staff with one proven starter. When his team got off to a 4-6 start, Manager Kid Gleason inserted Robertson into the rotation even though he had only 10 innings of major league experience. It was move made out of desperation more than anything else.

Eliot Asinof’s book, Eight Men Out (“8MO”), Asinof’s 8MO portrays the eight White released in 1963, was a groundbreaking piece of Sox players, who history now records as having work, once and for all painting a defi nitive picture “thrown” the 1919 World Series, as sympathetic of the scandal that rocked professional baseball in characters who were driven to cheat – almost 1920, and abruptly ended the careers of the players out of necessity – because of the greed of who were involved. 8MO’s Charles Albert Comiskey, release – and its widespread the wealthy White Sox owner acceptance as the previously and supposed skinfl int. untold, true story of the Black Notwithstanding the lack of a Sox scandal of 1919 – were single footnote, Asinof alludes likely the proverbial last nails that only through painstaking in the coffi n of “Shoeless” Joe research was he able to delve Jackson’s prospects of obtaining “into the scandal’s causes and reinstatement in the league morality,” and explode “its and, more importantly, posthumous admission myths and distortions” to arrive at the “real into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
