1959-Billy O`Dell holds Sox to 6 hits and delivers year`s weirdest game-winning hit-a pop fly to right that hits the wooden foul line in Memorial Stadium and ricochets over the head of onrushing right-fielder Al Smith for a 2-run, inside-the-park homer that beats Billy Pierce 2-1 in Baltimore. Sox are 21-13, in 2d place, 1/2-game behind Cleveland.
