Name: Jerry Owens
Rank: 210
Position: CF
Years With White Sox: 2006-2009
Jerry Owens joined the White Sox organization in a February 2005 trade that sent Alex Escobar to the Nationals. Owens earned a September call-up in 2006, making his major league debut on September 11 as a pinch runner in the White Sox victory over the Angels.
With the White Sox floundering in 2007, Owens got an extended look in the big leagues, and he did reasonably well, hitting .267 with 32 stolen bases. A tear to his abductor muscle forced him to start the 2008 season on the disabled list, and he subsequently spent most of the season back in Triple A, appearing in only 12 games for the big league club.
In 2009, Owens again appeared in only 12 games for the White Sox, this time at the beginning of the season. However, he only got 1 hit in his 12 at bats and, on May 2, he was released and, to date, he has never returned to the major leagues.
Owens’ numbers in a White Sox uniform, both for games I attended and overall, were:
