Name: George Bell
Rank: 71
Position: DH
Years With White Sox: 1992-1993
George Bell came to the White Sox following the 1991 season in a trade with the Cubs for Sammy Sosa and Ken Patterson. Bell posted a steady, if unspectacular, season for the White Sox in 1991, finishing the year with 25 home runs and a .255 average, driving in 112.
Things started to go south for Bell in 1993, as a knee injury limited his effectiveness and his playing time. Splitting time at DH with Bo Jackson, Bell appeared in only 102 games, with only 13 home runs and a career low .217 average. Despite the White Sox facing Bell’s former team, the Blue Jays, in the ALCS, Bell did not make an appearance. He was released following the season and quickly announced his retirement.
