The 2000 Chicago White Sox season was the White Sox's 101st season. They finished the regular season with a 95 wins and 67 losses record, good enough for first place in the American League Central, 5 games ahead of the 2nd place Cleveland Indians. In addition to reaching the postseason for the first time since 1993, the White Sox had the best record in the American League for the sixth time in franchise history and the first since 1983. They lost in the 2000 American League Division Series to the Seattle Mariners in a three game sweep.

2000 Opening Day lineup

April 22

The White Sox were involved in a pair of bench-clearing brawls in a 14–6 win over the Detroit Tigers at Comiskey Park on April 22. Both were fueled by pitchers hitting batters. The tensions began in the sixth inning with Carlos Lee and Jeff Weaver who continued to jaw with Lee after being subbed out. A retaliatory pitch thrown by Jim Parque to Dean Palmer one inning later in the seventh began the first brawl which moved into shallow right field and included Keith Foulke being punched by Bobby Higginson and sustaining a cut under his left eye that needed five stitches to close. Four batters after Tanyon Sturtze hit Deivi Cruz in the ninth, the second brawl erupted when Bob Howry did likewise to Shane Halter. Among the eleven ejections were the White Sox's Sturtze, Howry, Magglio Ordóñez, Bill Simas, manager Jerry Manuel and bench coach Joe Nossek and the Tigers' Weaver, Palmer, Robert Fick, Danny Patterson and Doug Brocail. [1]

In the harshest penalty for a brawl in MLB history, a combined 16 members of the White Sox and Tigers were suspended for a total of 82 games five days later on April 27. [2] Tigers coach Juan Samuel incurred the longest at 15 for throwing punches rather than serving as a peacemaker, while the opposing managers Manuel and Phil Garner each received eight. Palmer was also assessed eight for participating in the second brawl despite having already been ejected. Other suspended Tigers were Higginson and Fick for five each, Brocail for four and Juan Encarnación, Karim García and Luis Polonia for three. Ordóñez was the White Sox player receiving the longest suspension at five, while Lee, Parque, Foulke, Sturtze and Howry got three each. [3]
