Rivera Lifts White Sox With New Bats and Stance
Jungle Jim Rivera, the Chicago White Sox outfielder, crafts a power surge after ordering his own bats and adopting a new stance. He has five homers in five games, four in a row, lifting his average to .264 as the Sox open a 20 game East trip with a 34percent lead. He credited Coach Johnny Cooney for the stance change and noted the bats arrived just before the New York Yankees series. Rivera drove in 10 runs with 10 doubles and a triple, including a two run homer to beat the Washington Senators in game one and a late head first slide turning a single into a double for an eight six win in game two.
