He is a year younger than his brother Ted Blankenship, who pitched in the major leagues for 9 seasons. Homer made his MLB debut for the White Sox in 1922, at the age of 20. He played in Chicago for parts of two seasons.[1] Besides a short stint with the Pirates in 1928, he then pitched in the Texas League from 1926 to 1930. He won a career-high 17 games for the Shreveport Sports in 1926.[3]
