The White Sox community received some sad news this weekend. Longtime White Sox pitcher Wilbur Wood passed away on Saturday at the age of 84. Known for his knuckleball and incredible durability, Wood currently holds the single-season, live-ball era record for most innings pitched at 376.2, a feat that will certainly never be topped.
We are saddened to learn of the passing of three-time All-Star Wilbur Wood.
A left-handed knuckleballer, Wood spent 12 of his 17 Major League seasons with the White Sox from 1967-78. The Massachusetts native also spent time with the Red Sox and Pirates.
