"In the game itself, Wilbur Wood tossed a complete game six-hitter and Jim Spencer has a two-run home run in a 4-0 win against Kansas City." - 2024
"Here are the Top 10 and Worst 10 Opening Day starts in White Sox history: The Top 10 Frank Smith’s all-time best White Sox opener effort, in 1910, was a one-hit shutout Eddie Lopat in 1947, Wilbur Wood in 1976 and Mark Buehrle in 2005 also were shutouts Billy Pierce in 1957 and Lefty Williams in 1920 both went 11 innings to earn their top scores Only one game in the Top 10 was a loss: Bill Dietrich’s heartbreaker in 1946 Dylan Cease’s amazing Opening Day win in 2023 is tied for 11th all-time, an 81 game score The Bottom 10 Not altogether surprisingly but still a bit shocking: Five of the 10-worst Opening Days ever thrown have come in the 21st Century, despite this era comprising approximately 20% of seasons in White Sox history Indicative of how good the 1963 White Sox would turn out to be, the club won Ray Herbert’s 12 game score start, the sixth-worst in team history Poor Vern Kennedy; he not only authored the only negative game score in White Sox Opening Day history — it was the only time he got the ball to start Opening Day!" - 2023
"On the pitching side, only one team gave up more runs, and the team ERA was dead last, despite excellent years from pre-surgery Tommy John and reliever Wilbur Wood." - 2022
"” When Bob got to camp in 1965 White Sox manager Al Lopez and pitching coach Ray Berres got one look at Locker’s wipeout sinker and told him to forget about starting — he was joining guys like Hoyt Wilhelm and Eddie Fisher (and later, Wilbur Wood) in the Sox bullpen." - 2015
"In 1973, Wilbur Wood had 142."
