| 1st | Dave Martin represents Sox at All-Star Game The Mid-summer Classic was rained out in July and rescheduled after the end of the season. As a result, Dave Martin was the lone White Sox All-Star in attendance. Will Bissonnette, Jason Hoye and Chris Stone had also been selected. The reschedule was also shortened due to rain, called after 7 innings, with the Bay State beating the Atlantic 7 to 5 at historic LeLacheur Park in Lowell, Massachusetts. Dave Martin had a few tough at bats and got some work in the outfield.
