July 2, 200421 yr Althrough many thought they were out of the race early in the season the White Sox made a strong enough finish to pass two clubs and move up to fifth. After the season, the White Sox rebuilding program continued when lefty Floyd Bannister was traded to Kansas City for a package of four fine young prospects. Bannister with his 16-11 and 3.58 ERA, was the top pitcher for Chicago. Among the highlights of the season was the power performance of 39 yr old catcher Carlton Fisk. He became the oldest catcher in major league history to hit 20 or more homers in a season when he hit 23 while batting .256 and driving in 71 runs. Firstbaseman Greg Walker led the Club in RBI's with 94 hitting .256 with 27 homers. Leftfielder Ivan Calderon was the top home run hitter with 28 while producing a .293 average and 83 RBI. Althrough hamperedby injury, rightfielder Harold Baines produced a solid season, hitting .293 with 20 homers and 93 RBI. CenterFielder Ken Williams hit .281. Leadoff man Gary Redus finished third in the league in stolen bases with 52 and Williams 21. Guillen hit .271 In another off-season trade, pitcher Richard Dotson was traded to New York for lefty slugger Dan Pasqua who hit 17 homers as a part-time player in New York. Rookie Jack Mcdowell won all three of his decisions and had a 1.93 ERA after being called up in Spetember. (This is the last one from my book, the ones from now on are going to be written by me, i hope ya all still enjoy them)

July 2, 200421 yr Author Melido Perez... Greg Hibbard... who else? John Davis.. Chuck Mount? fine prospects?! Um no. Well Perez did pitch well and Hibbard did too. Davis Sucked and Mount.. Welll
July 2, 200421 yr Did you watch them in in the late 80's? Hibbard would get hurt and Melido used to serve up gopher balls all the time. '88-89 were BAAD years with them pitching.

I watched them 88 and 89 sucked. who can you say Hibbard Sucked in 89 when he had a 3.17 ERA, and wasn't even on the Sox in 88. Perez had a 3.98 in 88 both teams sucked and couldn't play defense
