Name: Jerry Dybzinski
Rank: 206
Position: SS
Years With White Sox: 1983-1984
Jerry Dybzinski came to the White Sox in the trade that sent Pat Tabler to the Indians on April 1, 1983. He split time with Scott Fletcher at shortstop for the eventual AL West champions, but came under fire for a base-running blunder in the 6th inning of game 4 of the ALCS against the Orioles. With the game scoreless and Vance Law occupying third base, Dybzinski overran second, running the White Sox out of the inning and costing them the winning run that would have tied the series at 2 games a piece. Instead, the Orioles scored 3 runs in the 10th inning to win the series and went on to win the World Series.
Dybzinski returned to the White Sox in 1984, backing up Fletcher and hitting a robust .235. The following spring, 2 years to the day after he was acquired, he was released.
