The 1922 Chicago White Sox season was a season in Major League Baseball. The team finished with a 77–77 record, excluding a tied game that was not included in the standings. They finished sixth in the American League, 17 games behind the pennant-winning New York Yankees. The White Sox scored 691 runs and allowed 691 runs for a run differential of zero,[1] becoming the first team to finish with a .500 winning percentage and a zero run differential.[2] This dubious feat was later matched by the 1983 San Diego Padres.[2]
