MARCH 25TH

CATCHING HELP ARRIVES

1999:

The White Sox acquired catcher Brook Fordyce from the Cincinnati Reds for minor league pitcher Jake Meyer. With prospects Mark Johnson and Josh Paul not quite ready, the Sox were worrisomely thin at catcher so the arrival of Fordyce couldn’t have come at a better time. Fordyce gave the White Sox a fine 1999, hitting .297 with nine home runs and 49 RBIs. Fordyce stayed with the Sox until July of 2000 when he was shipped to Baltimore as part of the Harold Baines-Charles Johnson trade.
