Just saw this on ESPN, had no clue due to the White Sox terrible season. Anyone know the record?

EDIT: I'm an idiot, this is the record... Thanks Rudnicki

Bobby Jenks pitched a perfect ninth for Chicago, breaking David Wells' American League record and tying the major league record of 41 straight batters retired. Jim Barr also set down 41 straight for San Francisco in 1972.

I was at the game when he tied the record. Pretty nice ovation for him.

I was criticized for taking Jenks over Rivera in a Dynasty league this year. I think it's worked out ok.

Wow! 41 batters = 13 2/3 perfect innings. Very impressive.

Chicago closer Bobby Jenks was available to pitch after being held out Tuesday night, a day after tweaking his right ankle while walking his dog at home during Monday's off day.
