Sox Force Rare Winner Takes All Between Twins Tuesday Night For Playoff Spot

The best one of these I remember out of 11 since 1969 was in New York in 1978 as a 12 year old kid coming home in the afternoon from school to watch Bucky Dent line a pretty rare home run for him over the Green Monster in Boston's Fenway park sending the Yankees into the playoffs that year.

Such games usually have high drama, so after the Sox dramatic win today lets see if they can join the Cubs in the postseason together for the first time in my lifetime and I'm saying without fact checking it yet... Now I'm going to take a minute to check and see if I'm correct....

hold on, I be googling.....

Well, I'm back and it seems I'm correct, as the playoffs were established in 1969 and they have never been in the postseason together since, they did meet in the World Series in 1906 when the White Sox defeated the Cubs *who won 116 games that season*

101 years in the making, if this happens and the Cubs win, we will have seen it all and Armageddon sets in. (just kidding I hope)

Ramirez slammer beginning and end, his record setting FOURTH of the year

White Sox slam Tigers, force 1-game playoff with Twins --

chicagotribune.com: "Alexei Ramirez set a rookie record with his fourth grand slam of the season, and the White Sox beat Detroit 8-2 in a rainout makeup Monday, forcing a one-game tiebreaker against Minnesota for the AL Central title.

The Twins will visit the White Sox on Tuesday night, with John Danks starting for Chicago on three days' rest against Nick Blackburn. The division champ begins the playoffs at Tampa Bay on Thursday.

A day after the regular season ended for everyone else, the White Sox and Twins found themselves tied at 88-74.

Washed out earlier this month, Chicago and Detroit waited through a rain delay of more than three hours before starting. Gavin Floyd (17-8) won on three days' rest — short rest has been successful trend for many teams in the stretch." continued
