Name: Tony Bernazard
Rank: 133
Position: 2B
Years With White Sox: 1981-1983
Tony Bernazard was traded to the White Sox from the Expos for Rich Wortham on December 12, 1980. During the strike shortened 1981 season, Bernazard became the starting second baseman, hitting .276 with 6 home runs while leading the team with 106 games played.
In 1982, the White Sox were poised to make a run for a division title, with Bernazard leading the way. Unfortunately, his season came to a premature end when he suffered a broken leg on September 12, and the White Sox faltered down the stretch without him, finishing in third place, 6 games behind the division-winning Angels.
Expectations for the White Sox were large in 1983, but the team got off to a slow start. On June 15, with a record of 28-32, the White Sox looked to shake things up and shipped Bernazard to the Mariners in exchange for Julio Cruz. The rest, as they say, is history.
