On November 3, 1959, the Chicago White Sox completed a trade for pitcher Frank Baumann, a move later regarded as a shrewd acquisition for the club. The transaction, highlighted in a historical retrospective published on November 3, 2026, marked the 67th anniversary of the deal.

Baumann, a right-handed pitcher, went on to contribute to the White Sox pitching staff during the early 1960s. The trade is remembered as a savvy piece of business by the franchise's front office at the time.
