June 30, 200421 yr After the shocking decline of the previous year, the White Sox made something of a comeback with an 85 - 77 record that moved them up to thrid, six games behind. Harold Baines, Carlton Fisk, Britt Burns and Tom Seaver were big stars in the revival. Baines hit .309 with 22 homers and 113 RBI's (4th in the League) and had 198 hits, fifth best in the league. Fisk hit only .238 but was second in the league in homers (37) and drove in 107 runs. Ron Kittle has another good power season with 26 homers and 58 RBI's but batted only .230. Burns led the pitchers with an 18-11 record (3.96) while Seaver was 16-11 with a 3.17 ERA. Veteran Bob James had the finest season of his carrer posting a 8-7 record in relief with a 2.13 ERA and 32 saves (second highest in the league). Floyd Bannister had 198 strikeouts best on the staff
