Year With White Sox: 1997
Former All-Star catcher Tony Pena signed with the White Sox as a free agent on January 10, 1997. Pena served as a backup for starter Jorge Fabergas, appearing in 31 games but batting an anemic .164. In August, after announcing that this would be his final season, he was traded to the Astros for a minor league pitcher. “I really appreciate the way they have been treating me,” Pena said. “They have been treating me with a lot of respect. . . . I thought the White Sox uniform would be the last uniform I was going to wear.”
Pena’s numbers in a White Sox uniform, both for games I attended and overall, were:
