Name: Omar Vizquel

Rank: 86

Position: 3B/2B

Years With White Sox: 2010-2011

Signing as a free agent, Omar Vizquel joined the White Sox prior to the 2010 season.  With his usual #13 taken by manager Ozzie Guillen, Vizquel was allowed to wear jersey #11, retired in 1984 for Luis Aparicio.  He ended up getting the most playing time he had seen since 2007, appearing mostly at third base.  On May 25, he landed in second place for hits all-time by a shortstop, behind Derek Jeter.  One month later, he hit his first home run of the year, becoming the 4th player to homer in four different decades.

Vizquel returned to the White Sox in 2011, but his playing time fell off as he appeared in a career low 58 games.  On April 3, he got the 2800th hit of his career.  Following the season, he left as a free agent.
